#Fmake-abbrev-table
Create a new, empty abbrev table object.
(make-abbrev-table)#Fclear-abbrev-table
Undefine all abbrevs in abbrev table TABLE, leaving it empty.
(clear-abbrev-table TABLE)#Fdefine-abbrev
Define an abbrev in TABLE named NAME, to expand to EXPANSION and call HOOK.
NAME must be a string.
EXPANSION should usually be a string.
To undefine an abbrev, define it with EXPANSION = nil.
If HOOK is non-nil, it should be a function of no arguments;
it is called after EXPANSION is inserted.
If EXPANSION is not a string, the abbrev is a special one,
which does not expand in the usual way but only runs HOOK.
COUNT, if specified, initializes the abbrev's usage-count
which is incremented each time the abbrev is used.
(define-abbrev TABLE NAME EXPANSION &optional HOOK COUNT)#Fdefine-global-abbrev
Define ABBREV as a global abbreviation for EXPANSION.
(define-global-abbrev ABBREV EXPANSION)#Fdefine-mode-abbrev
Define ABBREV as a mode-specific abbreviation for EXPANSION.
(define-mode-abbrev ABBREV EXPANSION)#Fabbrev-symbol
Return the symbol representing abbrev named ABBREV.
This symbol's name is ABBREV, but it is not the canonical symbol of that name;
it is interned in an abbrev-table rather than the normal obarray.
The value is nil if that abbrev is not defined.
Optional second arg TABLE is abbrev table to look it up in.
The default is to try buffer's mode-specific abbrev table, then global table.
(abbrev-symbol ABBREV &optional TABLE)#Fabbrev-expansion
Return the string that ABBREV expands into in the current buffer.
Optionally specify an abbrev table as second arg;
then ABBREV is looked up in that table only.
(abbrev-expansion ABBREV &optional TABLE)#Fexpand-abbrev
Expand the abbrev before point, if there is an abbrev there.
Effective when explicitly called even when `abbrev-mode' is nil.
Returns the abbrev symbol, if expansion took place.
(expand-abbrev)#Funexpand-abbrev
Undo the expansion of the last abbrev that expanded.
This differs from ordinary undo in that other editing done since then
is not undone.
(unexpand-abbrev)#Finsert-abbrev-table-description
Insert before point a full description of abbrev table named NAME.
NAME is a symbol whose value is an abbrev table.
If optional 2nd arg READABLE is non-nil, a human-readable description
is inserted. Otherwise the description is an expression,
a call to `define-abbrev-table', which would
define the abbrev table NAME exactly as it is currently defined.
(insert-abbrev-table-description NAME &optional READABLE)#Fdefine-abbrev-table
Define TABLENAME (a symbol) as an abbrev table name.
Define abbrevs in it according to DEFINITIONS, which is a list of elements
of the form (ABBREVNAME EXPANSION HOOK USECOUNT).
(define-abbrev-table TABLENAME DEFINITIONS)#Vabbrev-table-name-list
List of symbols whose values are abbrev tables.#Vglobal-abbrev-table
The abbrev table whose abbrevs affect all buffers.
Each buffer may also have a local abbrev table.
