emacs lisp, how to get buffer major mode?
Is there a way for Emacs Lisp code to determine the current major mode?

To easily find the mode, put the numbers in order from least to greatest and count how many times each number occurs. The number that occurs the most is the mode!
Usually, the major mode is automatically set by Emacs, when you first visit a file or create a buffer (see Choosing File Modes). You can explicitly select a new major mode by using an M-x command.
Emacs Lisp is a dialect of the Lisp programming language used as a scripting language by Emacs (a text editor family most commonly associated with GNU Emacs and XEmacs). It is used for implementing most of the editing functionality built into Emacs, the remainder being written in C, as is the Lisp interpreter.
The standard default value is fundamental-mode . If the default value is nil , then whenever Emacs creates a new buffer via a command such as C-x b ( switch-to-buffer ), the new buffer is put in the major mode of the previously current buffer.
You can look at the value of the variable major-mode.
