Creating Buffers

Function: make-buffer name

Creates and returns a new buffer object. Its name will be a unique version of name (created by the make-buffer-name function).

The buffer will be totally empty and all its attributes will have standard values.

(make-buffer "foo")
    => #<buffer foo>

Function: open-buffer name

If no buffer called name exists, creates a new buffer of that name and adds it to the end of each windows buffer-list. This function always returns the buffer called name.

For more ways of creating buffers see section Editing Files.
