Subject: What does ":noerror" do?
Date: Sun, 13 Oct 2013 06:57:10 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAAF+z6E2XNSV9bdHmu3t7QAxSOi-cFW7MY9ciGHWQvH4hLZB0A@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
From a recent post in emacs-devel[fn:1], I found a usage like this:
(message "Loading Emacspeak...%s"
(if (load "emacspeak-loader" :noerror) "success!" "FAILED!"))
I'm not sure what the ‘:noerror’ is. It seems that the ‘:noerror’ is
just like a random symbol, like ‘(quote noerror)’, but I could't find this
kind of usage in lispref. Any ideas?
