The glossary explains most of the special terms we use in this documentation.
|
|
some of these are originally explained in the `Emacs manual`_ or the `Emacs Lisp
|
|
reference`_, but we reproduce them here for convenience.

|
init file
|
|
user init file
|
|
Your main Emacs configuration file. It’s typically located in your
|
|
:term:`user emacs directory` at :file:`$HOME/.emacs.d/init.el`. Emacs
|
|
also looks at :file:`$HOME/.emacs`, but this location is not recommended
|
|
anymore. To find out the actual path to your init file of your Emacs
|
|
session inspect the value of the variable `user-init-file` with :kbd:`C-h
|
|
v user-init-file`. You can visit it directly with :kbd:`M-: (find-file
|
|
user-init-file)`.
|
|
|
|
.. seealso::
|
|
|
|
:infonode:`(emacs)Init File`
|
|
More information about the init file.
|
|
|
|
:infonode:`(elisp)Init File`
|
|
Programming interface for the init file.
|
|
|
|
user emacs directory
|
|
The directory for all Emacs related files of the current user, at
|
|
:file:`~/.emacs.d/`. Many Emacs packages create data files in this
|
|
directory, and it holds the recommended location for the :term:`init file`
|
|
at :file:`~/.emacs.d/init.el`.
|
|
|
|
registered syntax checker
|
|
A syntax checker in `flycheck-checkers`. Flycheck will only use these
|
|
syntax checkers when checking buffers automatically.
|
|
|
|
verification buffer
|
|
A buffer shown by `M-x flycheck-verify-setup`. This buffer contains
|
|
information about the Flycheck setup for the current buffer.
|
|
|
|
executable option
|
|
executable options
|
|
Options to override the executables of syntax checkers that run external
|
|
commands. They are named :samp:`flycheck-{checker}-executable`,
|
|
e.g. ``flycheck-c/c++-clang-executable`` for `c/c++-clang`.
|
|
|
|
Flycheck implicit defines these options for all syntax checkers defined
|
|
with `flycheck-define-checker`.
