;;; Commentary:

;; This package provides the M-x vlfi command, which visits part of a
;; large file in a read-only buffer without visiting the entire file.
;; The buffer uses VLFI mode, which defines the commands M-<next>
;; (vlfi-next-batch) and M-<prior> (vlfi-prev-batch) to visit other
;; parts of the file.  The option `vlfi-batch-size' specifies the size
;; of each batch, in bytes.

;; This package is an improved fork of the vlf.el package.

;;; Code:

(defgroup vlfi nil
  "View Large Files in Emacs."

  :group 'files)

(defcustom vlfi-batch-size 1024
  "Defines how large each batch of file data is (in bytes)."
  :type 'integer
  :group 'vlfi)

;; Keep track of file position.
