| 1 /* Hey Emacs, this is -*- C -*- code! */ | |

| 3 /* Synched up with: Not synched with FSF. */ | |

| 5 /* Think twice before editing this file. Generated automatically by configure. | |

| 7 The file startup.el guesses at reasonable values for load-path, exec-path, | |
| 8 and lock-directory. This means that if you move emacs and its associated | |
| 9 sub-tree to a different place in the filesystem, or to a different machine, | |
| 10 you won't have to do anything for it to work. | |
| 11 | |
| 12 If you define the paths in this file then they will take precedence over | |
| 13 any value generated by the heuristic in startup.el. The hardcoded paths | |
| 14 will be checked to see if they are valid, in which case they will be used. | |
| 15 Otherwise the editor will attempt to make its normal guess. | |
| 16 | |
| 17 See the NEWS file for a description of the heuristic used to locate the lisp | |
| 18 and exec directories at startup time. If you are looking at this file | |
| 19 because you are having trouble, then you would be much better off arranging | |
| 20 for those heuristics to succeed than defining the paths in this file. | |
| 21 | |
| 22 ** Let me say that again. If you're editing this file, you're making | |
| 23 ** a mistake. Re-read the section on installation in ../etc/NEWS. | |
| 24 | |
| 25 If it defines anything, this file should define some subset of the following: | |
| 26 | |
| 27 PATH_PREFIX The default value of `prefix-directory'. This is the | |
| 28 default root for everything. | |
| 29 | |
| 30 PATH_LOADSEARCH The default value of `load-path'. | |
| 31 | |
| 32 PATH_EXEC The default value of `exec-directory' and `exec-path'. | |
| 33 (exec-path also contains the value of whatever is in | |
| 34 the PATH environment variable.) | |
| 35 | |
| 36 PATH_DATA The default value of `data-directory'. This | |
| 37 is where architecture-independent files are | |
| 38 searched for. | |
| 39 | |
| 40 PATH_LOCK The name of the directory that contains lock files | |
| 41 with which we record what files are being modified in | |
| 42 Emacs. This directory should be writable by everyone. | |
| 43 If this is specified, the string must end with a slash! | |
| 44 | |
| 45 PATH_SUPERLOCK The name of the file !!!SuperLock!!! in the lock | |
| 46 directory. You probably should let this default... | |
| 47 | |
| 48 PATH_INFO The default value of `Info-directory-list'. | |
| 49 This is where info files are searched for. */ |
