- As the emacs info pages say:---
-
-
- When Emacs is started, it normally loads the file `.emacs' in your
- home directory. This file, if it exists, should contain Lisp code.
- It is called your "init file". The command line switches `-q' and
- `-u' can be used to tell Emacs whether to load an init file (*note
- Entering Emacs::.).
-
- There can also be a "default init file", which is the library named
- `default.el', found via the standard search path for libraries. The
- Emacs distribution contains no such library; your site may create one
- for local customizations. If this library exists, it is loaded
- whenever you start Emacs. But your init file, if any, is loaded
- first; if it sets `inhibit-default-init' non-`nil', then `default' is
- not loaded.
