Emacs Features

1 min read

  • Put a call to provide at the end of each separate Lisp file.

provide and require are an alternative to autoload for loading files automatically. They work in terms of named features. Autoloading is triggered by calling a specific function, but a feature is loaded the first time another program asks for it by name.

Use of require ensures that the file is only be loaded once.

Emacs Lisp files are searched from the load path.
