Function: buffer-face-set

buffer-face-set is an autoloaded, interactive and byte-compiled function defined in face-remap.el.gz.

Signature

(buffer-face-set &rest SPECS)

Documentation

Enable buffer-face-mode(var)/buffer-face-mode(fun), using face specs SPECS.

Each argument in SPECS should be a face, i.e. either a face name or a property list of face attributes and values. If more than one face is listed, that specifies an aggregate face, like in a face text property. If SPECS is nil or omitted, disable buffer-face-mode(var)/buffer-face-mode(fun).

This function makes the variable buffer-face-mode-face buffer local, and sets it to FACE.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 23.1.
