;;; Commentary:

;; executable.el is used by certain major modes to insert a suitable
;; #! line at the beginning of the file, if the file does not already
;; have one.

;; Unless it has a magic number, a Unix file with executable mode is passed to
;; a new instance of the running shell (or to a Bourne shell if a csh is
;; running and the file starts with `:').  Only a shell can start such a file,
;; exec() cannot, which is why it is important to have a magic number in every
;; executable script.  Such a magic number is made up by the characters `#!'
;; the filename of an interpreter (in COFF, ELF or somesuch format) and one
;; optional argument.

;; This library is for certain major modes like sh-, awk-, perl-, tcl- or
;; makefile-mode to insert or update a suitable #! line at the beginning of
;; the file, if the file does not already have one and the file is not a
;; default file of that interpreter (like .profile or makefile).  It also
;; makes the file executable if it wasn't, as soon as it's saved.

;; It also allows debugging scripts, with an adaptation of compile, as far
;; as interpreters give out meaningful error messages.

;; Modes that use this should nconc `executable-map' to the end of their own
;; keymap and `executable-font-lock-keywords' to the end of their own font
;; lock keywords.  Their mode-setting commands should call
;; `executable-set-magic'.

;;; Code:

(defvar executable-insert 'not-modified
  "*What to do when newly found file has no or wrong magic number:
	nil	do nothing
	t	insert or update magic number
	other	insert or update magic number, but mark as unmodified.
When the insertion is marked as unmodified, you can save it with  \\[write-file] RET.
This variable is used when `executable-set-magic' is called as a function,
e.g. when Emacs sets some Un*x interpreter script mode.
With \\[executable-set-magic], this is always treated as if it were `t'.")

When this is `function', only ask when called non-interactively.")
