+ bufferlist()						*bufferlist()*
+ 		Returns a List of buffers. Each list item is a dictionary with
+ 		the following entries:
+ 			num		buffer number.
+ 			name		full path to the file in the buffer.
+ 			listed		TRUE if the buffer is listed.
+ 			loaded		TRUE if the buffer is loaded.
+ 			hidden		TRUE if the buffer is hidden.
+ 			changed		TRUE if the buffer is modified.
+ 			changedtick	number of changes made to the buffer.
+ 
  bufexists({expr})					*bufexists()*
  		The result is a Number, which is non-zero if a buffer called
  		{expr} exists.
