File: compat.el.html

The Compat package on ELPA provides forward-compatibility definitions for other packages. While mostly transparent, a minimal API is necessary whenever core definitions change calling conventions (e.g. plist-get can be invoked with a predicate from Emacs 29.1 onward). For core packages on ELPA to be able to take advantage of this functionality, the macros compat-function and compat-call have to be available in the core, usable even if users do not have the Compat package installed, which this file ensures.

A basic introduction to Compat is given in the Info node (elisp) Forwards Compatibility. Further details on Compat are documented in the Info node (compat) Top (installed along with the Compat package) or read the same manual online: https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/doc/compat.html.
