(autoload-ensure-default-file, autoload-insert-section-header) (autoload-before-p, autoload-remove-section): New functions. (generate-file-autoloads): Use them. (update-file-autoloads): Use them. Return FILE if there's no cookie. Make sure the autoload file is properly formatted when creating it. (update-autoloads-from-directories): Use them as well. Only update autoloads for files whose timestamp has changed. Add a dummy entry to remember the files which had no autoload cookies.

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

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

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