2. The vim module *lua-vim*
Lua interfaces Vim through the "vim" module. The first and last line of the
input range are stored in$vim.firstline$and$vim.lastline$respectively. The
input range are stored in "vim.firstline" and "vim.lastline" respectively. The
module also includes routines for buffer, window, and current line queries,
Vim evaluation and command execution, and others.
$vim.isbuffer(value)$ Returns#true#if$value$is a buffer userdata and
$false$otherwise (see |lua-buffer|).
vim.isbuffer(value) Returns 'true' (boolean, not string) if
"value" is a buffer userdata and 'false'
otherwise (see |lua-buffer|).
$vim.buffer($[arg]$)$ If$arg$is a number, returns buffer with number
$arg$in the buffer list or, if$arg$is
a string, returns buffer whose full or short
name is$arg$. In both cases, returns#nil#if
the buffer is not found. Otherwise, if
$toboolean(arg)$is#true#returns the first
buffer in the buffer list or else the current
buffer.
vim.buffer([arg]) If "arg" is a number, returns buffer with
number "arg" in the buffer list or, if "arg"
is a string, returns buffer whose full or short
name is "arg". In both cases, returns 'nil'
(nil value, not string) if the buffer is not
found. Otherwise, if "toboolean(arg)" is
'true' returns the first buffer in the buffer
list or else the current buffer.
$vim.iswindow(value)$ Returns#true#if$value$is a window userdata and
$false$otherwise (see |lua-window|).
vim.iswindow(value) Returns 'true' (boolean, not string) if
"value" is a window userdata and
'false' otherwise (see |lua-window|).
$vim.window($[arg]$)$ If$arg$is a number, returns window with number
$arg$or#nil#if not found. Otherwise, if
$toboolean(arg)$is#true#returns the first
window or else the current window.
vim.window([arg]) If "arg" is a number, returns window with
number "arg" or 'nil' (nil value, not string)

Buffer userdata represent vim buffers. A buffer userdata "b" has the following
properties and methods:
Properties
----------
#o#$b()$sets$b$as the current buffer.
#o#$#b$is the number of lines in buffer$b$.
#o#$b[k]$represents line number$k$:$b[k] = newline$replaces line$k$
with string$newline$and$b[k] =$#nil#deletes line$k$.
#o#$b.name$contains the short name of buffer$b$(read-only).
#o#$b.fname$contains the full name of buffer$b$(read-only).
#o#$b.number$contains the position of buffer$b$in the buffer list
o "b()" sets "b" as the current buffer.
o "#b" is the number of lines in buffer "b".
o "b[k]" represents line number k: "b[k] = newline" replaces line k
with string "newline" and "b[k] = nil" deletes line k.
o "b.name" contains the short name of buffer "b" (read-only).
o "b.fname" contains the full name of buffer "b" (read-only).
o "b.number" contains the position of buffer "b" in the buffer list
(read-only).
Methods
-------
#o#$b:insert(newline$[, pos]$)$inserts string$newline$at position$pos$
in the buffer. The default value for$pos$is$#b + 1$. If$pos == 0$
then$newline$becomes the first line in the buffer.
#o#$b:next()$returns the buffer next to$b$in the buffer list.
#o#$b:previous()$returns the buffer previous to$b$in the buffer list.
#o#$b:isvalid()$returns#true#if buffer$b$corresponds to a "real" (not
freed from memory) Vim buffer.
o "b:insert(newline[, pos])" inserts string "newline" at (optional)
position "pos" in the buffer. The default value for "pos" is
"#b + 1". If "pos == 0" then "newline" becomes the first line in
the buffer.
o "b:next()" returns the buffer next to "b" in the buffer list.
o "b:previous()" returns the buffer previous to "b" in the buffer
list.
o "b:isvalid()" returns 'true' (boolean) if buffer "b" corresponds to
a "real" (not freed from memory) Vim buffer.
