Highlighting of locations in the selected buffer.

If a number, highlight the locus in next-error face for the given time in seconds, or until the next command is executed. If t, highlight the locus until the next command is executed, or until some other locus replaces it. If nil, don't highlight the locus in the source buffer. If fringe-arrow, indicate the locus by the fringe arrow indefinitely until some other locus replaces it. See next-error-highlight-no-select to customize highlighting of the locus in non-selected buffers.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 22.1.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 22.1.
