;;; Commentary:

;; This code helps GNU Emacs maintainers keep the loaddefs.el file up to
;; date.  It interprets magic cookies of the form ";;;###autoload" in
;; lisp source files in various useful ways.  To learn more, read the
;; source; if you're going to use this, you'd better be able to.

;;; Code:

(require 'lisp-mode)                    ;for `doc-string-elt' properties.
(require 'lisp-mnt)
(eval-when-compile (require 'cl-lib))

(defvar generated-autoload-file nil
  "File into which to write autoload definitions.
A Lisp file can set this in its local variables section to make
its autoloads go somewhere else.

If this is a relative file name, the directory is determined as
follows:
 - If a Lisp file defined `generated-autoload-file' as a
   file-local variable, use its containing directory.
 - Otherwise use the \"lisp\" subdirectory of `source-directory'.

The autoload file is assumed to contain a trailer starting with a
FormFeed character.")

  "Non-nil means insert a timestamp for each input file into the output.
We use these in incremental updates of the output file to decide
if we need to rescan an input file.  If you set this to nil,
then we use the timestamp of the output file instead.  As a result:
 - for fixed inputs, the output will be the same every time
 - incremental updates of the output file might not be correct if:
   i) the timestamp of the output file cannot be trusted (at least
     relative to that of the input files)
   ii) any of the input files can be modified during the time it takes
      to create the output
   iii) only a subset of the input files are scanned
   These issues are unlikely to happen in practice, and would arguably
   represent bugs in the build system.  Item iii) will happen if you
   use a command like `update-file-autoloads', though, since it only
   checks a single input file.")

In an interactive call, you must give one argument, the name of a
single directory.  In a call from Lisp, you can supply multiple
directories as separate arguments, but this usage is discouraged.

The function does NOT recursively descend into subdirectories of the
directory or directories specified.

In an interactive call, prompt for a default output file for the
autoload definitions, and temporarily bind the variable
`generated-autoload-file' to this value.  When called from Lisp,
use the existing value of `generated-autoload-file'.  If any Lisp
file binds `generated-autoload-file' as a file-local variable,
write its autoloads into the specified file instead."
