@cindex init file
@cindex @file{.emacs}

  When you start Emacs, it normally attempts to load your @dfn{init
file}, a file in your home directory.  Its normal name is
@file{.emacs}, but you can alternatively call it @file{.emacs.el}.
You can also store it inside a subdirectory @file{.emacs.d}.
Whichever place you use, you can also compile the file (@pxref{Byte
Compilation}); then the actual file loaded will be @file{.emacs.elc}.

  The command-line switches @samp{-q}, @samp{-Q}, and @samp{-u}
control whether and where to find the init file; @samp{-q} (and the
stronger @samp{-Q}) says not to load an init file, while @samp{-u
@var{user}} says to load @var{user}'s init file instead of yours.
