autoload function with arguments

autoload function with arguments

[Heime]

I am making a minor-mode.  Is an autoload function with arguments allowed.

As with

;;;###autoload
(defun tema-mdhooks (actn)
  "Manage the activation of tema-minor-mode for various major modes."

  (let ( (mdhooks '(sh-mode-hook emacs-lisp-mode-hook))

         (hook-fn (cond
                    ((eq actn 'add) #'add-hook)
                    ((eq actn 'remove) #'remove-hook)
                    (t (error "ACTM %s is invalid" actm)))) )

    (dolist (mdhook mdhooks)
      (funcall hook-fn mdhook #'tema-minor-mode)) ))

What do you mean by "allowed"? Did you get an error when you used 
your code?

You can also check (info "(elisp) Autoload") or look at some 
sample core code if you are worried.

I'd ask

    grep -A1 ';;;###autoload' **/*.el

Right.  There exist almost everything.  Anything goes with autoload it seems to me.
