+ @findex dired-copy-filename-as-kill
+ The @kbd{w} command (@code{dired-copy-filename-as-kill}) puts the
+ names of the marked (or next @var{n}) files into the kill ring, as if
+ you had killed them with @kbd{C-w}. With a zero prefix argument
+ @var{n}=0, use the absolute file name of each marked file. With just
+ @kbd{C-u} as the prefix argument, use the relative file name of each
+ marked file. As a special case, if no prefix argument is given and
+ point is on a directory headerline, @kbd{w} gives you the name of that
+ directory without looking for marked files.
+
+ @vindex dired-marked-files
+ The main purpose of the @kbd{w} command is so that you can yank the
+ file names into arguments for other Emacs commands. It also displays
+ what was pushed onto the kill ring, so you can use it to display the
+ list of currently marked files in the echo area. It also stores the
+ list of names in the variable @code{dired-marked-files}, for use in
+ Lisp expressions.
