Documentation

Non-nil means display-buffer should make a new window.

This variable is provided mainly for backward compatibility and should not be used in new code. To make display-buffer behave as if this were t, customize display-buffer-base-action instead. See Info node (elisp) Choosing Window Options in the Emacs Lisp manual for an example.
