the closest of all is 'emacs --help' ;-)

Sorry, I looked at the info as far as I recall (I don't think it was the man
page since it doesn't really say anything about the options) and I didn't see
it. Maybe it was at the wrong hour of the night again ;-)

I do feel stupid since in the info page it is right above --no-site-file. I
guess I sometimes miss the obvious since I run into some option somewhere and
later when I remember I want something close I think I already went to the
obvious places, or I am just looking at things at 4am at which point I don't
actually understand what I read anyway >|-)

Thanks for the replies though.

$ man emacs | grep "init file"
Reformatting emacs(1), please wait... 
       -q Do not load an init file. 
       -u user Load user's init file. 
$ _

It makes since now, I was looking at the man page but I looked for
.emacs and not init file. I guess "Do not load an init file" didn't
catch my eye as "Do not load the user's .emacs init file" ;-)

It does seem like I do need to improve either my reading,
concentration or searching skills :-@

suppress loading .emacs

[Micha Feigin]

What command line option can I use to suppress loading .emacs?

I am using -u nobody now but it seems like a workaround, is there a
better solution?
