Documentation

Prefix that is ignored before the tag.

For example, you can write the 1st line synopsis string and headers like this in your Lisp package:

   ;; @(#) package.el -- package description
   ;;
   ;; @(#) $Maintainer: Person Foo Bar $

The @(#) construct is used by unix what(1) and then $identifier: doc string $ is used by GNU ident(1)

Source Code

;; Defined in /usr/src/emacs/lisp/emacs-lisp/lisp-mnt.el.gz
;; At least some of these defcustoms should probably be defconsts,
;; since they define, or are defined by, the header format.  -- fx

(defcustom lm-header-prefix "^;+[ \t]+\\(@(#)\\)?[ \t]*\\$?"
