Function: display-buffer-same-window

display-buffer-same-window is a byte-compiled function defined in window.el.gz.

Signature

(display-buffer-same-window BUFFER ALIST)

Documentation

Display BUFFER in the selected window.

ALIST is an association list of action symbols and values. See Info node (elisp) Buffer Display Action Alists for details of such alists.

This function fails if ALIST has an inhibit-same-window element whose value is non-nil, or if the selected window is a minibuffer window or is dedicated to another buffer; in that case, return nil. Otherwise, return the selected window.

This is an action function for buffer display, see Info node (elisp) Buffer Display Action Functions. It should be called only by display-buffer or a function directly or indirectly called by the latter.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 25.1.
