@cindex Compilation mode
@cindex mode, Compilation
  The @samp{*compilation*} buffer uses a special major mode, Compilation
mode, whose main feature is to provide a convenient way to look at the
source line where the error happened.

  If you set the variable @code{compilation-scroll-output} to a
non-@code{nil} value, then the compilation buffer always scrolls to
follow output as it comes in.

commands advance from there.  When @kbd{C-x `} gets to the end of the
buffer and finds no more error messages to visit, it fails and signals
an Emacs error.

When the left fringe is displayed, an arrow points to the

  By default, @kbd{C-x `} skips less important messages.  The variable
@code{compilation-skip-threshold} controls this.  If its value is 2,
@kbd{C-x `} skips anything less than error, 1 skips anything less
than warning, and 0 doesn't skip any messages.
