elisp: Finding All Frames

 
 28.8 Finding All Frames
 =======================
 
  -- Function: frame-list
      This function returns a list of all the live frames, i.e., those
      that have not been deleted.  It is analogous to ‘buffer-list’ for
      buffers, and includes frames on all terminals.  The list that you
      get is newly created, so modifying the list doesn’t have any effect
      on the internals of Emacs.
 
  -- Function: visible-frame-list
      This function returns a list of just the currently visible frames.
      Visibility of Frames.  Frames on text terminals always
      count as visible, even though only the selected one is actually
      displayed.
 
  -- Function: next-frame &optional frame minibuf
      This function lets you cycle conveniently through all the frames on
      the current display from an arbitrary starting point.  It returns
      the next frame after FRAME in the cycle.  If FRAME is omitted or
      ‘nil’, it defaults to the selected frame (Input Focus).
 
      The second argument, MINIBUF, says which frames to consider:
 
      ‘nil’
           Exclude minibuffer-only frames.
      ‘visible’
           Consider all visible frames.
      0
           Consider all visible or iconified frames.
      a window
           Consider only the frames using that particular window as their
           minibuffer.
      anything else
           Consider all frames.
 
  -- Function: previous-frame &optional frame minibuf
      Like ‘next-frame’, but cycles through all frames in the opposite
      direction.
 
    See also ‘next-window’ and ‘previous-window’, in Cyclic Window
 Ordering.
