Variable: TeX-output-dir

Documentation

The path of the directory where output files should be placed.

A relative path is interpreted as being relative to the master file in TeX-master. Subdirectories of TeX-master are considered safe, otherwise the user is asked for permission. If this variable is nil, the output directory is assumed to be the same as the directory of TeX-master.
