@defun current-window-configuration &optional frame
-This function returns a new object representing @var{frame}'s
-current window configuration, including the number of windows, their
-sizes and current buffers, which window is the selected window, and for
-each window the displayed buffer, the display-start position, and the
-positions of point and the mark. It also includes the values of
-@code{window-min-height}, @code{window-min-width} and
-@code{minibuffer-scroll-window}. An exception is made for point in the
-current buffer, whose value is not saved.

-If @var{frame} is omitted, the selected frame is used.

@defun set-window-configuration configuration
If the frame which @var{configuration} was saved from is dead, all this
function does is restore the three variables @code{window-min-height},

+@code{window-min-width} and @code{minibuffer-scroll-window}. In this

Here is a way of using this function to get the same effect
as @code{save-window-excursion}:
@defspec save-window-excursion forms@dots{}
This special form records the window configuration, executes @var{forms}
in sequence, then restores the earlier window configuration. The window
-configuration includes the value of point and the portion of the buffer
-that is visible. It also includes the choice of selected window.
-However, it does not include the value of point in the current buffer;
-use @code{save-excursion} also, if you wish to preserve that.

@node Window Hooks
@section Hooks for Window Scrolling and Changes
There are three actions that can change this: scrolling the window,
switching buffers in the window, and changing the size of the window.
The first two actions run @code{window-scroll-functions}; the last runs
-@code{window-size-change-functions}. The paradigmatic use of these
-hooks is in the implementation of Lazy Lock mode; see @ref{Support
-Modes, Lazy Lock, Font Lock Support Modes, emacs, The GNU Emacs Manual}.
+@code{window-size-change-functions}.
@defvar window-scroll-functions
This variable holds a list of functions that Emacs should call before
@defun window-redisplay-end-trigger &optional window
This function returns @var{window}'s current end trigger position.
+If @var{window} is @code{nil} or omitted, it uses the selected window.
@end defun
@defvar window-configuration-change-hook
