Thus, a buffer visiting file @file{foo.c} is auto-saved in a file @file{#foo.c#}. Most buffers that are not visiting files are auto-saved only if you request it explicitly; when they are auto-saved, the auto-save file name is made by appending -@samp{#%} to the front and @samp{#} to the rear of buffer name. For +@samp{#} to the front and rear of buffer name, then +adding digits and letters at the end for uniqueness. For example, the @samp{*mail*} buffer in which you compose messages to be -sent is auto-saved in a file named @file{#%*mail*#}. Auto-save file +sent might auto-saved in a file named @file{#*mail*#704juu}. Auto-save file names are made this way unless you reprogram parts of Emacs to do something different (the functions @code{make-auto-save-file-name} and @code{auto-save-file-name-p}). The file name to be used for auto-saving -- 2.39.5
