A frameset is intended to be used through the following simple API:
- - `frameset-save' captures all or a subset of the live frames, and returns
- a serializable snapshot of them (a frameset).
+ - `frameset-save', the type's constructor, captures all or a subset of the
+ live frames, and returns a serializable snapshot of them (a frameset).
- `frameset-restore' takes a frameset, and restores the frames and windows
it describes, as faithfully as possible.
- `frameset-p' is the predicate for the frameset type. It returns nil
This alist is the default value of the :filters arguments of
`frameset-save' and `frameset-restore' (which see). On saving,
-PARAMETERS is the parameter list of each frame processed, and
-FILTERED is the parameter list that gets saved to the frameset.
