when i use “M-x set-buffer-file-coding-system RET unix” to turn a
file's line ending from classic mac or dos to unix. However, when i
use list-coding-systems, i see no value that is unix, mac, or dos.
I'm a bit confused by this, and the fact that emacs coding systems
seems to marry file encoding with line ending.
can anyone help me answer:
• why unix, mac, dos, is not listed in list-coding-systems. (more
specifically, when i “M-x set-buffer-file-coding-system RET unix”,
what's the “unix” there?)
• why emacs combine character set encoding with line ending
convention... or if there's a good info doc that explains this?
Thanks.
