Appendix B Handling the Kill Ring ********************************* The kill ring is a list that is transformed into a ring by the workings of the ‘current-kill’ function. The ‘yank’ and ‘yank-pop’ commands use the ‘current-kill’ function. This appendix describes the ‘current-kill’ function as well as both the ‘yank’ and the ‘yank-pop’ commands, but first, consider the workings of the kill ring.
