(Testing Accessibility): Mention ACLs. Move file-modes here from File Attributes. (Truenames): Move file-equal-p here from Kinds of Files. (File Attributes): Move file-newer-than-file-p here from Testing Accessibility. (Extended Attributes): New node. Add file-extended-attributes. (Changing Files): Document set-file-extended-attributes. * minibuf.texi (Minibuffer Contents): Remove obsolete function minibuffer-completion-contents. * variables.texi (Defining Variables): Note that defvar acts always on the dynamic value.
