@cindex buffer list
The @dfn{buffer list} is a list of all live buffers. Creating a
buffer adds it to this list, and killing a buffer excises it. The order
of the buffers in the list is based primarily on how recently each
buffer has been displayed in the selected window. Buffers move to the
front of the list when they are selected and to the end when they are
buried (see @code{bury-buffer}, below). Several functions, notably
@code{other-buffer}, use this ordering. A buffer list displayed for the
user also follows this order.
buffer adds it to this list, and killing a buffer removes it. The
order of the buffers in the list is based primarily on how recently

to the front of the list when they are selected (selecting a window
that already displays the buffer counts as selecting the buffer), and
to the end when they are buried (see @code{bury-buffer}, below).
Several functions, notably @code{other-buffer}, use this ordering. A

In addition to the fundamental Emacs buffer list, each frame has its
own version of the buffer list, in which the buffers that have been
