Documentation

Alist specifying how to blink the cursor off.

Each element has the form (ON-STATE . OFF-STATE). Whenever the cursor-type frame-parameter or variable equals ON-STATE, comparing using equal, Emacs uses OFF-STATE to specify how to blink it off. ON-STATE and OFF-STATE are values for the cursor-type frame parameter.

If a frame's ON-STATE has no entry in this list, the frame's other specifications determine how to blink the cursor off.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 22.1.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 22.1.
