Value

nil

Documentation

User-defined alist of rules for suggested commands.

These rules take precedence over the predefined rules in the variable dired-guess-shell-alist-default (to which they are prepended).

Each element of this list looks like

    (REGEXP COMMAND...)

COMMAND will be used if REGEXP matches the file to be processed. If several files are to be processed, REGEXP has to match all the files.

Each COMMAND can either be a string or a Lisp expression that evaluates to a string. If this expression needs to consult the name of the file for which the shell commands are being requested, it can access that file name as the variable file.

If several COMMANDs are given, the first one will be the default and the rest will be added temporarily to the history and can be retrieved with previous-history-element (M-p (previous-history-element)).

The variable dired-guess-shell-case-fold-search controls whether REGEXP is matched case-sensitively.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 29.1.
