 4 A Few Buffer-Related Functions
 ********************************
 
 In this chapter we study in detail several of the functions used in GNU
 Emacs.  This is called a “walk-through”.  These functions are used as
 examples of Lisp code, but are not imaginary examples; with the
 exception of the first, simplified function definition, these functions
 show the actual code used in GNU Emacs.  You can learn a great deal from
 these definitions.  The functions described here are all related to
 buffers.  Later, we will study other functions.

· simplified-beginning-of-buffer  Shows ‘goto-char’,
                                 ‘point-min’, and ‘push-mark’.
· mark-whole-buffer           Almost the same as ‘beginning-of-buffer’.
· append-to-buffer            Uses ‘save-excursion’ and
                                 ‘insert-buffer-substring’.
