" BufClose.vim  -  Close a buffer without closing the window it's in.
"
" Copyright February 2003 by Christian J. Robinson <infynity@onewest.net>
"
" Distributed under the terms of the Vim license.  See ":help license".

" Usage:
"
" :BufClose[!] [buffer]
"
" Without any arguments the current buffer in the current window is closed.
" With an argument that buffer is closed if it exists and is currently being
" displayed in a window.
"
" The buffer argument can be a buffer name or number.
"
" In both cases if the buffer is modified you have to use ! or an error will
" be issued and the buffer will be left loaded.
"
" Configuration:
"
" g:BufClose_AltBuffer
"
" Set this variable if you don't want a blank buffer to be loaded in place of
" the buffer being closed.  Examples:
"
"   :let g:BufClose_AltBuffer = '#'
"
" This will cause :BufClose to load the alternate buffer.  See ":help :_#".
"
"   :let g:BufClose_AltBuffer = '.'
"
" This will cause :BufClose to load the current directory in the file
" explorer.
