+# List All Buffers
+
+The `:ls` command will list the buffers you have open. What vim doesn't tell
+you though is that there are some unlisted buffers that it isn't displaying.
+To see *all* of the buffers, you can use `:ls!`. According to the vim help
+file:
+
+> When the [!] is included the list will show unlisted buffers
+> (the term "unlisted" is a bit confusing then...).
+
+This reveals buffers for `netrw`, `:help` files, etc. This helps explain the
+sometimes sporadic numbering that vim uses for buffers.
