compile(3)

NAME

compile - Start a compilation process

SYNOPSIS

n compile "compile-command"

DESCRIPTION

compile gets and executes the compile command using a pipe execution (incremental pipe on UNIX platforms), loading the output into a buffer called "*compile*", with go to error parsing using the command get-next-line(2). The default compile execution is set by variable %compile-com(5), the error parsing is setup using the command add-next-line(2).

Before the compile command is executed save-some-buffers(2) is executed to allow the user to ensure that all relevant buffers are saved. If an argument is given to compile then it is passed on to this command, so if an argument of 0 is given, all buffers are automatically saved.

NOTES

compile is a macro defined in tools.emf.
