This variable is set whenever Emacs asks the user which coding system to use in order to write a file. If you set it to nil explicitly, then call `write-region', then afterward this variable will be non-nil only if the user was explicitly asked and specified a coding system. Defined in `international/mule-cmds'. ------------------------------------------------------------ But, it seems that it's not used by any code. What is the purpose of this variable? This is the only changelog for this variable. 1998-05-10 Richard Stallman * startup.el (normal-top-level-add-subdirs-to-load-path): Ignore subdirectories whose names start with nonalphanumeric or that have a file called .nosearch. * international/mule-cmds.el (last-coding-system-specified): New var. (select-safe-coding-system): Set var if user specifies a coding system. --- Ken'ichi HANDA handa@m17n.org
