"command" A "command" is an object that `command-execute' can invoke; it is a possible definition for a key sequence. Some functions are commands; a function written in Lisp is a command if it contains an interactive declaration (*note Defining Commands::). Such a function can be called from Lisp expressions like other functions; in this case, the fact that the function is a command makes no difference. Keyboard macros (strings and vectors) are commands also, even though they are not functions. A symbol is a command if its function definition is a command; such symbols can be invoked with `M-x'. The symbol is a function as well if the definition is a function. *Note Command Overview::. (info "(elisp)What Is a Function")
