Documentation

Alist of major mode specific functions to restore a desktop buffer.

Functions listed are called by desktop-create-buffer when desktop-read evaluates the desktop file. List elements must have the form

   (MAJOR-MODE . RESTORE-BUFFER-FUNCTION).

Buffers with a major mode not specified here, are restored by the default handler desktop-restore-file-buffer.

Handlers are called with argument list

   (DESKTOP-BUFFER-FILE-NAME DESKTOP-BUFFER-NAME DESKTOP-BUFFER-MISC)

Furthermore, they may use the following variables:

   desktop-file-version
   desktop-buffer-major-mode
   desktop-buffer-minor-modes
   desktop-buffer-point
   desktop-buffer-mark
   desktop-buffer-read-only
   desktop-buffer-locals

If a handler returns a buffer, then the saved mode settings and variable values for that buffer are copied into it.

Modules that define a major mode that needs a special handler should contain code like

   (defun foo-restore-desktop-buffer
   ...
   (add-to-list 'desktop-buffer-mode-handlers
                '(foo-mode . foo-restore-desktop-buffer))

The major mode function must either be autoloaded, or of the form
"foobar-mode" and defined in library "foobar", so that desktop
can guess how to load the mode's definition.
