;;; Commentary:

;; This implements buffer truncation (and optional log file writing
;; support for the Emacs IRC client.  Use `erc-truncate-mode' to switch
;; on.  Use `erc-enable-logging' to enable logging of the stuff which
;; is getting truncated.

;;; Code:

(require 'erc)

(defgroup erc-truncate nil
  "Truncate buffers when they reach a certain size."
  :group 'erc)

(defcustom erc-max-buffer-size 30000
  "Maximum size in chars of each ERC buffer.
Used only when auto-truncation is enabled.
\(see `erc-truncate-buffer' and `erc-insert-post-hook')."
  :type 'integer)

;;;###autoload(autoload 'erc-truncate-mode "erc-truncate" nil t)
(define-erc-module truncate nil
  "Truncate a query buffer if it gets too large.
This prevents the query buffer from getting too large, which can
bring any grown Emacs to its knees after a few days worth of
tracking heavy-traffic channels."
  ;;enable
  ((add-hook 'erc-insert-post-hook #'erc-truncate-buffer))
  ;; disable
  ((remove-hook 'erc-insert-post-hook #'erc-truncate-buffer)))

(defun erc-truncate-buffer-to-size (size &optional buffer)

If BUFFER is not provided, the current buffer is assumed.  The deleted
region is logged if `erc-logging-enabled' returns non-nil."
  ;; If buffer is non-nil, but get-buffer does not return anything,
  ;; then this is a bug.  If buffer is a buffer name, get the buffer
  ;; object.  If buffer is nil, use the current buffer.

      ;; narrowed to the new message.  So do this delicate widening.
