1 This directory contains source code for the parts of Emacs that are
|
|
|
2 written in Emacs Lisp. *.el files are Emacs Lisp source, and the
|
|
|
3 corresponding *.elc files are byte-compiled versions. Byte-compiled
|
|
|
4 files are architecture-independent.

6 The term subdirectory contains Lisp files that customize Emacs for
|
|
|
7 certain terminal types. When Emacs starts, it checks the TERM
|
|
|
8 environment variable to get the terminal type and loads
|
|
|
9 `term/${TERM}.el' if it exists.

11 The other subdirectories hold Lisp packages grouped by their general
|
|
|
12 purpose.
