@deffn Command forward-line &optional count
@cindex beginning of line
This function moves point forward @var{count} lines, to the beginning of
-the line. If @var{count} is negative, it moves point
-@minus{}@var{count} lines backward, to the beginning of a line. If
-@var{count} is zero, it moves point to the beginning of the current
-line. If @var{count} is @code{nil}, that means 1.
+the line following that. If @var{count} is negative, it moves point
+@minus{}@var{count} lines backward, to the beginning of a line
+preceding that. If @var{count} is zero, it moves point to the
+beginning of the current line. If @var{count} is @code{nil}, that
+means 1.
If @code{forward-line} encounters the beginning or end of the buffer (or
of the accessible portion) before finding that many lines, it sets point
@code{forward-line} returns the difference between @var{count} and the
number of lines actually moved. If you attempt to move down five lines
from the beginning of a buffer that has only three lines, point stops at
-the end of the last line, and the value will be 2.
+the end of the last line, and the value will be 2. As an explicit
+exception, if the last accessible line is non-empty, but has no
+newline (e.g., if the buffer ends without a newline), the function
+sets point to the end of that line, and the value returned by the
+function counts that line as one line successfully moved.
In an interactive call, @var{count} is the numeric prefix argument.

+This macro is like @code{save-excursion}, but also saves and restores
+the mark location and @code{mark-active}. This macro does what
+@code{save-excursion} did before Emacs 25.1.
