17.5 Saving +Files

+ +

In order to save a file, you type

+ + + + + +
+
+C-x C-s
+
+
+ +

Emacs will not ask you for a filename, the buffer will just be saved to the file it +was loaded from. If you want to save your text to another file, type

+ + + + + +
+
+C-x C-w
+
+
+ +

When you save the file for the first time in this session, Emacs will normally save +the old version of your file to a backup file, which has the same name appended with a +tilde: so if you're editing a file “cars.txt”, +Emacs will create a backup “cars.txt~”.

+ +

This backup file is a copy of the file that you opened. While you are working, Emacs +will also regularly create an auto-save copy of the work you are doing, to a file named +with hash signs: #cars.txt#. This backup is deleted when you +save the file with C-x C-s.

+ +

When you are done editing a file, you can kill the buffer that holds it by typing

+ + + + + +
+
+C-x k
+
+
+ +

Emacs will then ask you which buffer you want to kill, with the current buffer as +default, which you can select by hitting ENTER. If you haven't +saved your file yet, Emacs will ask you if you really want to kill the buffer.

+ +
+

17.5.1 Quitting +Emacs

+ +

When you are done with Emacs altogether, you can type

+ + + + + +
+
+C-x C-c
+
+
+ +

This quits Emacs. If you have any unsaved files, Emacs will tell you so, and ask if +you want to save them each in turn. If you answer no to any of these, Emacs will ask for +one final confirmation and then quit.
