Documentation

Non-nil means skip redisplay of the initial frame.

The initial frame is the text-mode frame used by Emacs internally during the early stages of startup. That frame is not displayed anywhere, so skipping it is best except in special circumstances such as running redisplay tests in batch mode.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 28.1.
