the current buffer. Since reverting a buffer unintentionally could lose
a lot of work, you must confirm this command with @kbd{yes}.
@code{revert-buffer} keeps point at the same distance (measured in
characters) from the beginning of the file. If the file was edited only
slightly, you will be at approximately the same piece of text after
reverting as before. If you have made drastic changes, the same value of
point in the old file may address a totally different piece of text.
@code{revert-buffer} tries to position point in such a way that, if
the file was edited only slightly, you will be at approximately the
same piece of text after reverting as before. However, if you have made
drastic changes, point may wind up in a totally different piece of text.
Reverting marks the buffer as ``not modified'' until another change is
made.
