Documentation

When nil, Global Auto-Revert Mode operates only on file-visiting buffers.

When non-nil, both file buffers and buffers with a custom revert-buffer-function and a buffer-stale-function are reverted by Global Auto-Revert Mode. These include the Buffer List buffer displayed by buffer-menu, and Dired buffers showing complete local directories. The Buffer List buffer reverts every auto-revert-interval seconds; Dired buffers when the file list of the main directory changes. Dired buffers do not auto-revert as a result of changes in subdirectories, or in the contents, size, modes, etc., of files. You may still sometimes want to revert them manually.

Use this option with care since it could lead to excessive auto-reverts. For more information, see Info node (emacs)Auto Revert.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 22.1.
