buffer-time-stamp.el

Description

Package to display buffer time stamps in the mode line.

These are not persistent (do not survive kill-buffer), and do not alter the buffer contents in any way (cf, time-stamp.el). As such, they may be most useful for buffers that are not associated with files (e.g., compilation/process output).

Features

• Adds a buffer-local time stamp to the mode line. That's it!

Compatibility

• GNU Emacs 21.
• XEmacs 21.

Customisation

• buffer-time-stamp-format:

Time stamp format used for `buffer-time-stamp'.
If a string, the value is passed to `format-time-string'. If a
function, this is evaluated, and should return a string. If nil,
`current-time-string' is used.
