elisp: Marker Type

 
 2.4.2 Marker Type
 -----------------
 
 A “marker” denotes a position in a specific buffer.  Markers therefore
 have two components: one for the buffer, and one for the position.
 Changes in the buffer’s text automatically relocate the position value
 as necessary to ensure that the marker always points between the same
 two characters in the buffer.
 
    Markers have no read syntax.  They print in hash notation, giving the
 current character position and the name of the buffer.
