@cindex buffer list
The @dfn{buffer list} is a list of all live buffers. Creating a
-buffer adds it to this list, and killing a buffer excises it. The order
-of the buffers in the list is based primarily on how recently each
-buffer has been displayed in the selected window. Buffers move to the
-front of the list when they are selected and to the end when they are
-buried (see @code{bury-buffer}, below). Several functions, notably
-@code{other-buffer}, use this ordering. A buffer list displayed for the
-user also follows this order.

In addition to the fundamental Emacs buffer list, each frame has its
own version of the buffer list, in which the buffers that have been
