Documentation

List of regexps matching file names in which to ignore local variables.

This includes -*- lines as well as trailing "Local Variables" sections. Files matching this list are typically binary file formats. They may happen to contain sequences that look like local variable specifications, but are not really, or they may be containers for member files with their own local variable sections, which are not appropriate for the containing file. The function inhibit-local-variables-p uses this.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 24.1.

Source Code

;; Defined in /usr/src/emacs/lisp/files.el.gz
;; TODO really this should be a list of modes (eg tar-mode), not regexps,
;; because we are duplicating info from auto-mode-alist.
;; TODO many elements of this list are also in auto-coding-alist.
