In some cases \fBnano\fP tries to dump the buffer into an emergency
file. This happens mainly if \fBnano\fP receives a SIGHUP or
SIGTERM or runs out of memory. It writes the buffer into a file
named \fInano.save\fP if the buffer didn't have a name already, or
adds a ".save" suffix to the current filename. If an emergency file with
that name already exists in the current directory, it adds ".save"
plus a number (e.g.\& ".save.1") to the current filename in order to make
it unique. In multibuffer mode, \fBnano\fP writes all the open
buffers to their respective emergency files.
