G. Buffer-Local Variables

The table below lists the general-purpose Emacs variables that automatically become buffer-local in each buffer. Most become buffer-local only when set; a few of them are always local in every buffer. Many Lisp packages define such variables for their internal use, but we don't try to list them all here.
