|
|
44 "Ask a series of boolean questions.
|
|
45 Takes args PROMPTER ACTOR LIST, and optional args HELP and ACTION-ALIST.
|
|
46
|
|
47 LIST is a list of objects, or a function of no arguments to return the next
|
|
48 object or nil.
|
|
49
|
|
50 If PROMPTER is a string, the prompt is \(format PROMPTER OBJECT\). If not
|
|
51 a string, PROMPTER is a function of one arg (an object from LIST), which
|
|
52 returns a string to be used as the prompt for that object. If the return
|
|
53 value is not a string, it may be nil to ignore the object or non-nil to act
|
|
54 on the object without asking the user.
|
|
55
|
|
56 ACTOR is a function of one arg (an object from LIST),
|
|
57 which gets called with each object that the user answers `yes' for.
|
|
58
|
|
59 If HELP is given, it is a list
|
|
60 (OBJECT OBJECTS ACTION),
|
|
61 where OBJECT is a string giving the singular noun for an elt of LIST;
|
|
62 OBJECTS is the plural noun for elts of LIST, and ACTION is a transitive
|
|
63 verb describing ACTOR. The default is \(\"object\" \"objects\" \"act on\"\).
|
|
64
|
|
65 At the prompts, the user may enter y, Y, or SPC to act on that object;
|
|
66 n, N, or DEL to skip that object; ! to act on all following objects;
|
|
67 ESC or q to exit (skip all following objects); . (period) to act on the
|
|
68 current object and then exit; or \\[help-command] to get help.
|
|
69
|
|
70 If ACTION-ALIST is given, it is an alist (KEY FUNCTION HELP) of extra keys
|
|
71 that will be accepted. KEY is a character; FUNCTION is a function of one
|
|
72 arg (an object from LIST); HELP is a string. When the user hits KEY,
|
|
73 FUNCTION is called. If it returns non-nil, the object is considered
|
|
74 \"acted upon\", and the next object from LIST is processed. If it returns
|
|
75 nil, the prompt is repeated for the same object.
|
|
76
|
|
77 Final optional argument NO-CURSOR-IN-ECHO-AREA non-nil says not to set
|
|
78 `cursor-in-echo-area' while prompting.
|
|
79
|
|
80 This function uses `query-replace-map' to define the standard responses,
|
|
81 but not all of the responses which `query-replace' understands
|
|
82 are meaningful here.
|
|
83
|
|
84 Returns the number of actions taken."
