R help - Nov 2023 - Calling Emacs Lisp Code/Function from R

Hi,


I'm using R in Emacs and I'm interested in programatically knowing the
details of all opened buffers; details such a buffer name, size, mode,
and possibly associated filename. I've been able to write such a
function in Emacs Lisp, but now I'd like to be able to call that
function from R, or if that's not possible then calling it from C
would be fine.

Does anyone know if this is possible? And if so, could you perhaps
direct me towards an existing R package or program that calls an Emacs
Lisp function from R that I could use as a guide?


Thank you!
    Iris

I'm not an Emacs user, but the ESS-help mailing list (see 
ess.r-project.org) might be able to help with this.
