bug#1251: 23.0.60; `process-status' does not work with buffer names


From: Markus Triska
Subject: bug#1251: 23.0.60; `process-status' does not work with buffer names
Date: Sat, 25 Oct 2008 19:14:16 +0200 (CEST)

Contrary to what its info entry says, process-status does not work if
its argument is a buffer name; in emacs -Q, evaluating the form:

   (let* ((buffer "bc-buf")
          (bc (start-process "bc" buffer "/usr/bin/bc")))
     (mapcar 'process-status (list buffer (get-buffer buffer))))

yields:

     (nil run)

The following patch fixes this problem for me:

2008-10-25  Markus Triska  <markus.triska@gmx.at>

        * process.c (Fprocess_status): Accept buffer names.
        Update docstring to match info description.
