What is unclear about its doc string (available via `C-h v'): | ff-search-directories's value is | cc-search-directories | | Documentation: | *List of directories to search for a specific file. | | Set by default to `cc-search-directories', expanded at run-time. | | This list is searched through with each extension specified in | `ff-other-file-alist' that matches this file's extension. So the | longer the list, the longer it'll take to realise that a file | may not exist. | | A typical format is | | '("." "/usr/include" "$PROJECT/*/include") | | Environment variables can be inserted between slashes (`/'). | They will be replaced by their definition. If a variable does | not exist, it is replaced (silently) with an empty string. | | The stars are *not* wildcards: they are searched for together with | the preceding slash. The star represents all the subdirectories except | `..', and each of these subdirectories will be searched in turn. (setq ff-search-directories '("/a/b/c" "./d/e/f")) -- Kevin Rodgers
