Parameters: ~
• {buffer} Buffer to set the mark on
• {name} Mark name
Return: ~
true if the mark was deleted, else false.

nvim_buf_del_var({buffer}, {name}) *nvim_buf_del_var()*
Removes a buffer-scoped (b:) variable
Attributes: ~
Since: 0.1.0
Parameters: ~
• {buffer} Buffer id, or 0 for current buffer
• {name} Variable name
nvim_buf_delete({buffer}, {opts}) *nvim_buf_delete()*
Deletes a buffer and its metadata (like |:bwipeout|).
To get |:bdelete| behavior, reset 'buflisted' and pass `unload=true`: >lua
vim.bo.buflisted = false
vim.api.nvim_buf_delete(0, { unload = true })
<
Attributes: ~
not allowed when |textlock| is active or in the |cmdwin|
Since: 0.5.0
Parameters: ~
• {buffer} Buffer id, or 0 for current buffer
• {opts} Optional parameters. Keys:
• force: Force deletion, ignore unsaved changes.
• unload: Unloaded only (|:bunload|), do not delete.
nvim_buf_detach({buffer}) *nvim_buf_detach()*
Deactivates buffer-update events on the channel.
Attributes: ~
|RPC| only
Since: 0.3.0
Parameters: ~
• {buffer} Buffer id, or 0 for current buffer
Return: ~
False if detach failed (because the buffer isn't loaded); otherwise
True.

• |nvim_buf_attach()|
• |api-lua-detach| for detaching Lua callbacks
nvim_buf_get_changedtick({buffer}) *nvim_buf_get_changedtick()*
Gets a changed tick of a buffer
Attributes: ~
Since: 0.2.0
Parameters: ~
• {buffer} Buffer id, or 0 for current buffer
Return: ~
`b:changedtick` value.
nvim_buf_get_keymap({buffer}, {mode}) *nvim_buf_get_keymap()*
Gets a list of buffer-local |mapping| definitions.
Attributes: ~
Since: 0.2.1
Parameters: ~
• {buffer} Buffer id, or 0 for current buffer
• {mode} Mode short-name ("n", "i", "v", ...)
Return: ~
Array of |maparg()|-like dictionaries describing mappings. The
"buffer" key holds the associated buffer id.
*nvim_buf_get_lines()*
nvim_buf_get_lines({buffer}, {start}, {end}, {strict_indexing})
Gets a line-range from the buffer.
Indexing is zero-based, end-exclusive. Negative indices are interpreted as
length+1+index: -1 refers to the index past the end. So to get the last
element use start=-2 and end=-1.
Out-of-bounds indices are clamped to the nearest valid value, unless
`strict_indexing` is set.
Attributes: ~
Since: 0.1.0
Parameters: ~
• {buffer} Buffer id, or 0 for current buffer
• {start} First line index
• {end} Last line index, exclusive
• {strict_indexing} Whether out-of-bounds should be an error.
Return: ~
Array of lines, or empty array for unloaded buffer.

• |nvim_buf_get_text()|
nvim_buf_get_mark({buffer}, {name}) *nvim_buf_get_mark()*
Returns a `(row,col)` tuple representing the position of the named mark.
"End of line" column position is returned as |v:maxcol| (big number). See
|mark-motions|.
Marks are (1,0)-indexed. |api-indexing|
Attributes: ~
Since: 0.1.0
Parameters: ~
• {buffer} Buffer id, or 0 for current buffer
• {name} Mark name
Return: ~
(row, col) tuple, (0, 0) if the mark is not set, or is an
uppercase/file mark set in another buffer.

• |nvim_buf_set_mark()|
• |nvim_buf_del_mark()|
