Value

nil

Documentation

An alist of commands that present their output in a visual fashion.

It has this form:

  ((COMMAND1 OPTION1 OPTION2...)
   (COMMAND2 OPTION1 ...))

For example, a sensible entry would be

  ("git" "--help" "--paginate")

because "git <command> --help" shows the command's documentation with a pager and "git --paginate <command>" always uses a pager for output.

See also eshell-visual-commands and eshell-visual-subcommands.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 24.4.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 24.4.
