Note that this private function of mine is now included in AUCTeX in a
slightly different version that works for doc-view and pdf-tools.  The
manual describes the setup.

,----[ (info "(auctex)Modes and Hooks") ]
|  -- Variable: TeX-after-TeX-LaTeX-command-finished-hook
|      Hook which is run after the TeX/LaTeX processor has successfully
|      finished compiling your document.  (*Note Processing::, for finding
|      out how to compile your document).  Each function in the hook is
|      run with the compiled output document as its argument.
| 
|      This is useful for automatically refreshing the viewer after
|      re-compilation especially when using Emacs viewers such as DocView
|      or PDF Tools.  The function 'TeX-revert-document-buffer' can be
|      added to the hook for this purpose.

,----[ C-h f TeX-revert-document-buffer RET ]
| TeX-revert-document-buffer is a compiled Lisp function in ‘tex-buf.el’.
| 
| (TeX-revert-document-buffer FILE)
| 
| Revert the buffer visiting FILE.
| This function is intended to be used in
| ‘TeX-after-TeX-LaTeX-command-finished-hook’ for users that view
| their compiled document with an emacs viewer such as
| ‘doc-view-mode’ or ‘pdf-view-mode’.  (Note that this function
| just calls ‘revert-buffer’ in the respective buffer and thus
| requires that the corresponding mode defines a sensible
| ‘revert-buffer-function’.)
