nil

Documentation

If non-nil, use comint-prompt-regexp to recognize prompts.

If nil, then program output and user-input are given different field properties, which Emacs commands can use to distinguish them (in particular, common movement commands such as beginning-of-line respect field boundaries in a natural way).

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 22.1.
