GNU Emacs 18.57.4 of Fri May 3 1991 on uiucmath (berkeley-unix) call-process-region: Send text from START to END to a process running PROGRAM. Delete the text if DELETE is non-nil. Put output in BUFFER, before point. nil => discard it, t => current buffer. Sixth arg DISPLAY non-nil means redisplay buffer as output is inserted. Remaining args are passed to PROGRAM at startup as command args. This function normally waits for the process to terminate; if you quit, the process is killed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The documentation above should mention the possibility of BUFFER being 0, as the documentation below does. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- call-process: Call PROGRAM in separate process. Program's input comes from file INFILE (nil means /dev/null). Insert output in BUFFER before point; t means current buffer; nil for BUFFER means discard it; 0 means discard and don't wait. Fourth arg DISPLAY non-nil means redisplay buffer as output is inserted. Remaining arguments are strings passed as command arguments to PROGRAM. This function waits for PROGRAM to terminate; if you quit, the process is killed.
