cases. Mainly, this will happen if <B>nano</B> receives a SIGHUP or
SIGTERM or runs out of memory, when it will write the buffer into a file
-named "nano.save" if the buffer didn't have a name already, or will add
-a ".save" suffix to the current filename. If an emergency file with that
-name already exists in the current directory, ".save" and a number (e.g.
-".save.1") will be suffixed to the current filename in order to make it
-unique. In multibuffer mode, <B>nano</B> will write all the open buffers
