If all the error messages parsed so far have been processed already, the message buffer is checked for new ones.

A prefix ARG specifies how many error messages to move; negative means move back to previous error messages. Just C-u (universal-argument) as a prefix means reparse the error message buffer and start at the first error.

The RESET argument specifies that we should restart from the beginning.

C-x ` (next-error) normally uses the most recently started compilation, grep, or occur buffer. It can also operate on any buffer with output from the M-x compile (compile), M-x grep (grep) commands, or, more generally, on any buffer in Compilation mode or with Compilation Minor mode enabled, or any buffer in which next-error-function is bound to an appropriate function. To specify use of a particular buffer for error messages, type C-x ` (next-error) in that buffer. You can also use the command next-error-select-buffer to select the buffer to use for the subsequent invocation of next-error.

Once C-x ` (next-error) has chosen the buffer for error messages, it runs next-error-hook with run-hooks, and stays with that buffer until you use it in some other buffer that uses Compilation mode or Compilation Minor mode.

To control which errors are matched, customize the variable compilation-error-regexp-alist.
