86 Some functionality requires a fair amount of effort to enable globally
87 in a session. For example, someone who discovers filladapt and really
88 likes it must toggle it separately in each buffer. On the other hand,
89 after trying it for a while she might like to disable it everywhere,
90 having decided it doesn't work very well for her. Such a functionality
91 is called a @dfn{behavior}.
92
93 The package developer will register behaviors with XEmacs. Then the
94 user invokes the @code{enable-behavior} and @code{disable-behavior}
95 functions to enable or disable a given behavior. The behavior registry
96 was introduced in XEmacs 21.5.6.
97
98 @defun enable-behavior behavior [force]
99 Called interactively, prompt the user, read a behavior symbol name with
100 completion for @var{behavior}, and take @var{force} from the prefix
101 argument. Then enable the behavior registered under the symbol
102 @var{behavior}.
103
104 The optional argument @var{force} is unimplemented in 21.5.6.
105 @end defun
106
107 @defun disable-behavior behavior [force]
108 Called interactively, prompt the user, read a behavior symbol name with
109 completion for @var{behavior}, and take @var{force} from the prefix
110 argument. Then disable the behavior registered under the symbol
111 @var{behavior}.
