Every window has one associated buffer, whose contents appear in the window. By contrast, a given buffer may appear in one window, no window, or several windows. Though many windows may exist simultaneously, at any time one window is designated the selected window . The selected window usually displays the current buffer, but this is not necessarily the case. See section Frame Type .
Windows have no read syntax.
They print in hash notation, giving the name of the buffer being displayed and a unique number assigned at the time the window was created. See section Windows , for a description of the functions that work on windows. Go to the first , previous , next , last section, table of contents .
