Subject: What is the "official" name of the -*- line?
Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2012 08:43:39 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20341.22043.49732.440893@a1i15.kph.uni-mainz.de> (raw)
Hi,
I've noticed that Emacs now outputs a message "Malformed mode-line"
when it encounters bad syntax in the first line of the file. [1]
This may be a little confusing because the line at the bottom of a
window is called mode line, too.
Anyway, this makes me wonder if there's an "official" name for that
line? In documentation and source code I've found all of the
following:
`-*-' line
first line
mode-line
prop line
