  The value of @code{load-path} is initialized from the environment

value is specified in @file{emacs/src/paths.h} when Emacs is built.

in the list.

  Preloaded libraries don't contribute initially to @code{load-history}.
Instead, preloading writes information about preloaded libraries into a
file, which can be loaded later on to add information to
@code{load-history} describing the preloaded files.  This file is
installed in @code{exec-directory} and has a name of the form
@file{fns-@var{emacsversion}.el}.

@findex symbol-file
  See the source for the function @code{symbol-file}, for an example of
code that loads this file to find functions in preloaded libraries.

@defvar loadhist-special-hooks
