Variable: trusted-content

trusted-content is a customizable variable defined in files.el.gz.

Value

nil

Documentation

List of files and directories whose content we trust.

Be extra careful here since trusting means that Emacs might execute the code contained within those files and directories without an explicit request by the user. One important case when this might happen is when flymake-mode(var)/flymake-mode(fun) is enabled (for example, when it is added to a mode hook).

Each element of the list should be a string naming a file or a directory by their abbreviated file names:
- If it ends in "/", it is considered as a directory name and means that
  Emacs should trust all the files whose name has this directory as a prefix.
- Otherwise, it is considered a file name.
For example, an entry "~/mycode/" means that Emacs will trust all the files in the directory "mycode" under your home directory. This variable can also be set to :all, in which case Emacs will trust all files, which opens a gaping security hole. Emacs Lisp authors should note that this value must never be set by a major or minor mode.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 30.1.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 30.1.

Be extra careful here since trusting means that Emacs might execute the
