The auto-saving mechanism is global. Periodically Emacs runs the
function `do-auto-save' ("Auto-save all buffers that need it"). This
runs `auto-save-hook' once before saving the buffers.

Variable: buffer-auto-save-file-name
This buffer-local variable is the name of the file used for
auto-saving the current buffer. It is `nil' if the buffer should
not be auto-saved.
