Documentation

Alist mapping interpreter names to major modes.

This is used for files whose first lines match auto-mode-interpreter-regexp. Each element looks like (REGEXP . MODE). If REGEXP matches the entire name (minus any directory part) of the interpreter specified in the first line of a script, enable major mode MODE.

See also auto-mode-alist.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 19.23.
