Homepage: http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/persist.html
Description-en: persist variables between Emacs Sessions
This package enables variables that persist across Emacs sessions.
.
The main entry point is `persist-defvar', which behaves like
`defvar', but which persists the variables between sessions.
Variables are automatically saved when Emacs exits.
.
Other useful functions are `persist-save', which saves the variable
immediately, `persist-load', which loads the saved value, and
`persist-reset', which resets a variable to its default value.
.
Each persistent variable+value pair is stored in a unique file in a
subdirectory of 'user-emacs-directory'.
