It's a file containing the autoload references. It's normally build automatically - when building Emacs, installing packages, etc. And normally loaded automatically at startup. So it's a quite low-level mechanism not really useful for the end user. Unless maybe, you generate a loaddefs file for a bunch of third-party libraries that you want to use and you did not install them with package manager or the OS. Then it may make sense to build a loaddefs file yourself. Michael.
