Variable: generate-autoload-cookie

generate-autoload-cookie is a variable defined in autoload.el.gz.

Value

";;;###autoload"

Documentation

Magic comment indicating the following form should be autoloaded.

Used by M-x update-file-autoloads (update-file-autoloads). This string should be meaningless to Lisp (e.g., a comment).

This string is used:

;;;###autoload
(defun function-to-be-autoloaded () ...)

If this string appears alone on a line, the following form will be read and an autoload made for it. If there is further text on the line, that text will be copied verbatim to generated-autoload-file.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 23.1.

Source Code

;; Defined in /usr/src/emacs/lisp/obsolete/autoload.el.gz
;; This feels like it should be a defconst, but MH-E sets it to
;; ";;;###mh-autoload" for the autoloads that are to go into mh-loaddefs.el.
