What is group parameter 'quit-config ?

What is group parameter 'quit-config ?

[Jari Aalto]

When I was trying to determine how to prevent gnus from going
to next unread group when I exit the summary I run into parameter
'quit-config. I dind't find any documentation for it
from the .texi manual, so what is it used for?

How do I prevent gnus from going to next unread group?

Neither did I, and I've never heard of that parameter.

What makes you think that it exists?

A minute or two in the manual index found the gnus-auto-select-next
parameter.  Take a look at
http://www.gnus.org/manual/gnus_3.html#IDX501 or just look up that
parameter in your own copy of the texinfo.

igrep.el + TinyIgrep.el combo told me that :-)

cd /users/jaalto/elisp/gnus/qgnus/lisp/
find . -type d \( -name SCCS -o -name RCS \) -prune -o \( -type f \) -name "*el" -exec egrep -n  -e 'quit-config' "{}" /dev/null \;

For example there is already method for it:

        ./gnus.el:2222:(defun gnus-group-quit-config (group)

(defun gnus-group-quit-config (group)
  "Return the quit-config of GROUP."
  (gnus-group-get-parameter group 'quit-config))

It seems to be used heavily in "would be" `gnus-summary-exit', which 
I was looking previously, but due to definition

        (defalias 'gnus-summary-quit 'gnus-summary-exit-no-update)

The new code isn't activated yet. Sounds intereasting.

[Justin: gnus-auto-select-next]

Thank you.

It's the window configuration to be used when exiting from ephemeral
groups.  It's nothing the user should set.  In fact, adding that group
parameter to a group would probably break Gnus horribly.

*sigh*  `gnus-auto-select-next'.

The.  Manual.  Is.  There.  For.  A.  Reason.

Huh?  `gnus-summary-exit' and `gnus-summary-quit' are not
interchangeable.
