7.4.9.2 clone-indirect-buffer

This function creates and returns a new indirect buffer that shares the current buffer’s base buffer and copies the rest of the current buffer’s attributes.

If DISPLAY-FLAG is non-‘nil’, as it always is in interactive calls, that means to display the new buffer by calling pop-to-buffer.

Function: clone-indirect-buffer newname display-flag &optional norecord ¶

NEWNAME

DISPLAY-FLAG

if non-nil, show the new buffer with pop-to-buffer.

NORECORD

if non-nil, do not put this buffer at the front fo the list of recently selected ones.
