@ifinfo This Info file contains the manual for the Programming Modes package. @end ifinfo

The node name for each entry in the menu is the name of the elisp file containing the code that implements the functionality described. It is highly recommended that you briefly peruse the elisp source code since it can provide valuable information on usage and technique. This can easily be done by typing @code{C-x 4 l <filename> RET} where <filename> is the name of the elisp file to be loaded.

In many cases, the @code{customize} command can be used to customize a package's options. For those packages that support @code{customize}, the appropriate command is given. Otherwise, peruse the code as described above to learn how to set the package's options.

When you have entered a mode, you may get more info on the capabilities of that mode by pressing @kbd{C-h m}. You may also get online help describing functions provided by the mode by pressing @code{C-h f <function name>}.

@node Copying, asm-mode, Top, Top @chapter Copying

This document may be redistributed, verbatim or in modified form, under the terms of the GNU General Public License, version 2 or any later version. The same terms apply to the libraries it documents. A copy of the General Public License is provided as an Appendix.

Most XEmacs documentation has its own license, which is an ancestor of the GNU Free Documentation License (@dfn{FDL}), and whose terms are quite similar to those imposed by GNU on Emacs documentation. Why is this manual licensed differently (under the GNU General Public License, or @dfn{GPL}), and why does it have to be distributed separately from the XEmacs User's Guide and the XEmacs Lisp Reference Manual?

Taking the second question first, XEmacs is @dfn{community-owned} software. That is, unlike GNU Emacs, there is no monopoly copyright holder. Many of us, including the original Lucid authors, have contributed our copyrights to the Free Software Foundation (FSF), and of course much content is derived from GNU Emacs, and therefore is held by the FSF. Another large chunk is held by Sun Microsystems, and a few individual authors hold copyright to thousands of lines each. But many individuals hold copyright to only a few dozen lines. Like the Linux kernel, copyright ownership is distributed throughout a community.

However, its license is ``copyleft,'' @emph{i.e.}, it @emph{requires} that you redistribute it under terms @emph{identical} to those under which you received it, unless you have explicit permission of the copyright holder. Because of the multiple owners, determining the ownership of any given part of XEmacs is tedious, and perhaps impossible. For practical purposes, then, the license of any substantial chunk of existing XEmacs content cannot be changed, except to a later version of the GPL, for those parts under GPL. (That is due to the @emph{explicit} permission to change to a later version of the GPL, present in every file of XEmacs.)

Unfortunately, this severe restriction means that the GPL, FDL, and the XEmacs documentation license (@dfn{XDL}) are @emph{mutually incompatible}. That is, content licensed under any of the GPL, FDL, or XDL @emph{may not} be mixed with content licensed under either of the other two without changing the license of some of the content. But this requires permission of the copyright holder, which is often difficult or impossible to get.

For example, you @emph{may not} take comments or docstrings from XEmacs code and add them to the Lispref to mend a gap in the latter's coverage. You @emph{may not} copy text from the Lispref into docstrings in the code. And you @emph{may not} copy text from the GNU Emacs Lisp Reference to the XEmacs Lisp Reference Manual. (In this case it is at least trivial to ask permission, although it is rather unclear whether it would be granted.)

In fact, parts of this document were derived by copying from XEmacs code under the GPL, without any further permission from the authors. Thus, this document must be distributed under the GPL, as a ``volume'' separate from the XEmacs documentation under the XDL. Note that the ``mere aggregation'' clauses allow us to distribute in the same tarball. But incorporating it as a node in the Lispref is prohibited, even if done by inclusion.

A bit of advocacy:

If you look carefully at the additional restrictions imposed by the soi-disant "free" documentation licenses, you discover that they are simply proprietary restrictions guaranteeing a certain amount of @emph{unpaid} political advertising to the Free Software Foundation and GNU Project (and in the case of the FDL, this is extended to commercial advertising by authors of original or derived works). Whether this is ``ethically justified'' or not is a difficult question. What is certain is that there is little social benefit to these terms (since the license documents themselves contain the advocacy and must be included with any distribution).

I conclude it makes sense for XEmacs to reduce its restrictions, where possible, to the ``least common denominator,'' the GNU General Public License.

@node asm-mode, autoconf-mode, Copying, Top @chapter Editing Assembler Code

This mode is used for editing Assembler code. The mode is automatically invoked for buffers visiting any file ending with one of the following extensions: @file{.s}, @file{.S}, @file{.asm}.

The mode is based on text-mode. It defines a private abbrev table that can be used to save abbrevs for assembler mnemonics. It binds just five keys:

@table @kbd

@item TAB Tab to next tab stop

@item : Outdent preceding label, tab to tab stop

@item comment char Place or move comment. @code{asm-comment-char} specifies which character this is; you can use a different character in different Asm mode buffers. Alternatively, you may set this variable in @code{asm-mode-set-comment-hook}, which is called near the beginning of mode initialization.

@item C-j, C-m Newline and tab to tab stop

@end table

Code is automatically indented to the first tab stop level.

Turning on Asm mode runs the hook @code{asm-mode-hook} at the end of initialization.

To configure this package, type:

@example
M-x customize-group RET asm RET @end example

@node autoconf-mode, awk-mode, asm-mode, Top @chapter Editing Autoconf Input Files

This mode is used for editing autoconf input files. It is automatically invoked for buffers visiting the following types of files:

@itemize @bullet

@item any file ending with an extension of @file{.m4}

@item any file named @file{configure} ending with an extension of either @file{.in} or @file{.ac}.

@end itemize

To configure this package please view the source code. This can be done by typing @kbd{C-x 4 l autoconf-mode}.

@menu * About Autoconf: about-autoconf. @end menu

@node about-autoconf, , autoconf-mode, autoconf-mode @section About Autoconf

Autoconf is an extensible package of m4 macros that produce shell scripts to automatically configure software source code packages. These scripts can adapt the packages to many kinds of UNIX-like systems without manual user intervention. Autoconf creates a configuration script for a package from a template file that lists the operating system features that the package can use, in the form of m4 macro calls.

@node awk-mode, cl-indent, autoconf-mode, Top @chapter Editing AWK Code

This mode is used for editing Awk code. It is automatically invoked for buffers visiting the following types of files:

@itemize @bullet

@item any file ending with an extension of @file{.awk}.

@item any file that has an interpretor line (the "shebang" line) specifying "awk".

@end itemize

The mode operates much like C mode except for the syntax of comments. It uses the same keymap as C mode and has the same variables for customizing indentation. It has its own abbrev table and its own syntax table.

Turning on AWK mode calls the value of the variable @code{awk-mode-hook} with no arguments, if that value is non-nil.

NOTE: This library is obsolete. Support for AWK is now available directly via the cc-mode package. @xref{AWK Mode, , , cc-mode, CC Mode Manual}., for details.

@node ksh-mode, lua-mode, javascript-mode, Top @chapter Editing Shell Script (sh, ksh, bash) Code

This mode is used for editing shell scripts written for the Bourne (sh), Korn (ksh) or Bourne Again (bash) shells. It is NOT automatically invoked for any particular file extension. To invoke this mode while editing a file, type @code{M-x ksh-mode}.

The following key mappings are defined:

@multitable {C-c tab } {reindent-then-newline-and-indent} @item @code{linefeed} @tab reindent-then-newline-and-indent @item @code{tab} @tab ksh-indent-line @item @code{C-c} @tab << Prefix Command >> @item @code{C-i} @tab ksh-indent-line @item @code{C-j} @tab reindent-then-newline-and-indent @item @code{M-tab} @tab ksh-complete-symbol @item @code{M-C-i} @tab ksh-complete-symbol @item @code{C-c tab} @tab ksh-completion-init-and-pickup @item @code{C-c C-i} @tab ksh-completion-init-and-pickup @end multitable

The variables controlling indentation style are:

@table @code

@item ksh-indent Indentation of ksh statements with respect to containing block. Default value is 2.

@item ksh-case-indent Additional indentation for statements under case items. Default value is nil which will align the statements one position past the ")" of the pattern.

@item ksh-case-item-offset Additional indentation for case items within a case statement. Default value is 2.

@item ksh-group-offset Additional indentation for keywords "do" and "then". Default value is -2.

@item ksh-brace-offset Additional indentation of "@{" under functions or brace groupings. Default value is 0.

@item ksh-multiline-offset Additional indentation of line that is preceded of a line ending with a @code{ to make it continue on next line.

@item ksh-tab-always-indent Controls the operation of the @code{TAB} key. If t (the default), always reindent the current line. If nil, indent the current line only if point is at the left margin or in the line's indentation; otherwise insert a tab.

@item ksh-match-and-tell If non-nil echo in the minibuffer the matching compound command for the "done", "@}", "fi", or "esac". Default value is t.

@item ksh-align-to-keyword Controls whether nested constructs align from the keyword or the current indentation. If non-nil, indentation will be relative to the column the keyword starts. If nil, indentation will be relative to the current indentation of the line the keyword is on. The default value is non-nil.

@item ksh-comment-regexp Regular expression used to recognize comments. Customize to support ksh-like languages. Default value is "?*#".

@end table

An example of how to set up this mode is as follows:

@example
(setq ksh-mode-hook
(function (lambda ()
(font-lock-mode 1) ;; font-lock the buffer
(setq ksh-indent 8) (setq ksh-group-offset -8) (setq ksh-brace-offset -8)
(setq ksh-tab-always-indent t)
(setq ksh-match-and-tell t)
(setq ksh-align-to-keyword t) ;; Turn on keyword alignment ))) @end example

To configure this package please view the source code. This can be done by typing @kbd{C-x 4 l ksh-mode}.

For a related package, see @code{sh-script}.

@node lua-mode, m4-mode, ksh-mode, Top @chapter Editing Lua Code

This mode is used for editing Lua code. It is automatically invoked for buffers visiting any file ending in the extension @file{.lua}.

To configure this mode, type:

@example
M-x customize-group RET lua RET @end example

@menu * About Lua: about-lua. @end menu

@node about-lua, , lua-mode, lua-mode @section About Lua

Lua is a powerful light-weight programming language designed for extending applications. Lua is also frequently used as a general-purpose, stand-alone language. More information on Lua can be found at @uref{http://www.lua.org/,The Programming Language Lua}.

@node m4-mode, make-mode, lua-mode, Top @chapter Editing m4 Code

This mode is used for editing m4 macro definitions. It is NOT automatically invoked for any particular file extension. To invoke this mode while editing a file, type @code{M-x m4-mode}.

The mode has most of the syntax right (i.e., sexp motion commands work, but function motion commands don't). It also sets up font-lock for colorization.

To configure this package please view the source code. This can be done by typing @kbd{C-x 4 l m4-mode}.

NOTE: The preferred package for editing m4 code is autoconf mode. @xref{autoconf-mode}., for details.

@menu * About m4: about-m4. @end menu

@node about-m4, , m4-mode, m4-mode @section About m4

m4 is a general purpose macro processor that can be used to preprocess C and assembly language programs, among other things. Besides the straightforward replacement of one string of text by another, m4 lets you perform:

@itemize @bullet

@item integer arithmetic @item file inclusion @item conditional macro expansion @item string and substring manipulation

@end itemize

@node make-mode, mode-compile, m4-mode, Top @chapter Editing Makefiles

This mode is used for editing Makefiles. It is automatically invoked for for buffers visiting the following types of files:

@itemize @bullet

@item any file ending with an extension of @file{.ma?ke?} or @file{.am}

@item any file named @file{GNU[Mm]akefile} or @file{[Mm]akefile} with an extension of @file{.in}.

@item any file that has an interpretor line (the "shebang" line) specifying "make".

@end itemize

The mode knows about Makefile syntax and defines @kbd{M-n} and @kbd{M-p} to move to next and previous productions.

The keys @kbd{$}, @kbd{=}, @kbd{:} and @kbd{.} are electric; they try to help you fill in a macro reference, macro definition, ordinary target name, or special target name, respectively. Such names are completed using a list of targets and macro names parsed out of the makefile. This list is automatically updated, if necessary, whenever you invoke one of these commands. You can force it to be updated with @kbd{C-c C-p}.

The command @kbd{C-c C-f} adds certain filenames in the current directory as targets. You can filter out filenames by setting the variable @code{makefile-ignored-files-in-pickup-regex}.

The command @kbd{C-c C-u} grinds for a bit, then pops up a report buffer showing which target names are up-to-date with respect to their prerequisites, which targets are out-of-date, and which have no prerequisites.

The command @kbd{C-c C-b} pops up a browser window listing all target and macro names. You can mark or unmark items wit @kbd{C-c SPC}, and insert all marked items back in the Makefile with @kbd{C-c TAB}.

The command @kbd{C-c TAB} in the makefile buffer inserts a GNU make builtin. You will be prompted for the builtin's args.

The following key mappings are defined:

Makefile mode can be configured by modifying the following variables:

@table @code

@item makefile-browser-buffer-name: Name of the macro- and target browser buffer.

@item makefile-target-colon: The string that gets appended to all target names inserted by @code{makefile-insert-target}. ":" or "::" are quite common values.

@item makefile-macro-assign: The string that gets appended to all macro names inserted by @code{makefile-insert-macro}. The normal value should be " = ", since this is what standard make expects. However, newer makes such as dmake allow a larger variety of different macro assignments, so you might prefer to use " += " or " := " .

@item makefile-tab-after-target-colon: If you want a @code{TAB} (instead of a space) to be appended after the target colon, then set this to a non-nil value.

@item makefile-browser-leftmost-column: Number of blanks to the left of the browser selection mark.

@item makefile-browser-cursor-column: Column in which the cursor is positioned when it moves up or down in the browser.

@item makefile-browser-selected-mark: String used to mark selected entries in the browser.

@item makefile-browser-unselected-mark: String used to mark unselected entries in the browser.

@item makefile-browser-auto-advance-after-selection-p: If this variable is set to a non-nil value the cursor will automagically advance to the next line after an item has been selected in the browser.

@item makefile-pickup-everything-picks-up-filenames-p: If this variable is set to a non-nil value then @code{makefile-pickup-everything} also picks up filenames as targets (i.e. it calls @code{makefile-pickup-filenames-as-targets}), otherwise filenames are omitted.

@item makefile-cleanup-continuations-p: If this variable is set to a non-nil value then Makefile mode will assure that no line in the file ends with a backslash (the continuation character) followed by any whitespace. This is done by silently removing the trailing whitespace, leaving the backslash itself intact. IMPORTANT: Please note that enabling this option causes Makefile mode to MODIFY A FILE WITHOUT YOUR CONFIRMATION when "it seems necessary".

@item makefile-browser-hook: A function or list of functions to be called just before the browser is entered. This is executed in the makefile buffer.

@item makefile-special-targets-list: List of special targets. You will be offered to complete on one of those in the minibuffer whenever you enter a `.'. at the beginning of a line in Makefile mode.

To configure this package, type:

@example
M-x customize-group RET makefile RET @end example

@menu * About Make: about-make. @end menu

@node about-make, , make-mode, make-mode @section About Make

A Makefile is used by a `make' utility to automatically determine which pieces of a large program need to be recompiled, and to issue the commands to recompile them. @xref{Top, Make, , make, GNU Make Manual}., for details.

@node mode-compile, modula2, make-mode, Top @chapter Compiling Files According to Major-Mode

The @code{compile} command is very rudimentary in its creation of its compilation command, using "make -k" by default. This package provides an intelligent replacement for the @code{compile} command. @xref{Compilation, , ,xemacs, The XEmacs Editor}., for details.

The @code{mode-compile} command functions as a layer above @code{compile}. Its purpose is mainly to build a smarter compile command for @code{compile} to execute. This compile command is built according to number of parameters:

@itemize @bullet

@item the major-mode @item presence or absence of a makefile in the current directory @item the @code{buffer-file-name} and extension @item contents of the current buffer (`main' function, "#!/path/shell", ...) @item and more ... (see below)

@end itemize

Most of these parameters are highly customizable through Emacs Lisp variables (to be set in your @code{user-init-file} or through the Customization menu). Running @code{mode-compile} after a universal-argument (@kbd{C-u}) allows remote compilations; the user is prompted for the host name to execute the compilation command. The @code{mode-compile-kill} function terminates a running compilation session launched by @code{mode-compile}.

By default, @code{mode-compile} is very verbose and waits a user-specified number of seconds after displaying each message to give the user time to read it. The variables @code{mode-compile-expert-p} and @code{mode-compile-reading-time} can be used to change this behaviour. On Windows-based systems, the variable @code{mode-compile-other-frame-p} will create a new frame and launch the compilation command in it.

@node compile-cust, compile-compilation-mode, mode-compile, mode-compile @section Customization

This section explains how the @code{compile-command} is built according to the @code{major-mode} and how to customize it. The major modes currently supported are:

@multitable {lisp-interaction-mode} {lisp-interaction-mode} {lisp-interaction-mode}

@item ada-mode @tab c++-mode @tab c-mode @item c?perl-mode @tab compilation-mode @tab csh-mode @item dired-mode @tab emacs-lisp-mode @tab fortran-mode @item fundamental-mode @tab indented-text-mode @tab java-mode @item lisp-interaction-mode @tab makefile-mode @tab python-mode @item sh-mode @tab tcl-mode @tab text-mode @item zsh-mode

@end multitable

For other modes a default behaviour is provided.

When running @code{mode-compile} or @code{mode-compile-kill} the hooks @code{mode-compile-(before|after)-(compile|kill)-hook} are executed. The current buffer can be automatically saved if @code{mode-compile-always-save-buffer-p} is set to @code{t}. All the modified buffers can be automatically saved if @code{mode-compile-save-all-p} is set to @code{t}.

To configure this package, type:

@example
M-x customize-group RET compilation RET @end example

@node compile-compilation-mode, compile-makefile-mode, compile-cust, mode-compile @section compilation-mode

Calls @code{compile} with the last compile command.

@node compile-makefile-mode, compile-emacs-lisp-mode, compile-compilation-mode, mode-compile @section makefile-mode

The makefile is run with make through @code{compile} (user is prompted for the rule to run, see variable @code{mode-compile-preferred-default-makerule} to see how a default choice could be selected).

@node compile-emacs-lisp-mode, compile-dired-mode, compile-makefile-mode, mode-compile @section emacs-lisp-mode, lisp-interaction-mode

If the buffer is a @file{.el} file we @code{byte-compile} it to produce a @file{.elc} file. Otherwise, just @code{byte-compile} the buffer (this does not use @code{compile} but @code{byte-compile}).

@node compile-dired-mode, compile-sh-mode, compile-emacs-lisp-mode, mode-compile @section dired-mode

Find a @file{makefile} in the directory and run make with it (like in @code{makefile-mode}), else try to @code{byte-recompile} all @file{.el} files older than their associated @file{.elc} files (unlike @code{byte-recompile-directory} this is not recursive), finally if no @file{.el} files are present ask compilation command to user by calling @code{default-compile}. To find a @file{makefile} a regexp is provided which name is @code{mode-compile-makefile-regexp}.

@node compile-sh-mode, compile-c?perl-mode, compile-dired-mode, mode-compile @section sh-mode, csh-mode, zsh-mode

Run "[cz]?sh" with debugging arguments as specified in @code{[cz]?sh-dbg-flags} on the currently edited file.

@node compile-c?perl-mode, compile-tcl-mode, compile-sh-mode, mode-compile @section c?perl-mode

Run file with "perl -w" (can step through errors with compile's @code{next-error} command).

@node compile-tcl-mode, compile-c-mode, compile-c?perl-mode, mode-compile @section tcl-mode

Run file with "wish" (can step through errors with compile's @code{next-error} command).

@node compile-c-mode, compile-ada-mode, compile-tcl-mode, mode-compile @section c-mode, c++-mode

First it tries to see if there is a @file{makefile} in the directory. Makefiles to look for are specified by the variable @code{mode-compile-makefile-regexp}. If yes two cases could happen: there is only one makefile so use it, or there is more than one (sometimes when you need to write portable soft you could have some makefiles by system: SunOs.make, HP.make ...), in that case prompt to user for choice (with smart completion). Once the makefile has been selected it extract the rules from it and ask to user to choose a rule to make (with smart completion, see variable @code{mode-compile-preferred-default-makerule} to see how a default choice could be selected).

There are some cases where no makefiles are present (YES I KNOW this is bad practice but you sometimes have no need to write a Makefile). In that case the function tries to build the most intelligent compilation command by using the favourite user C/C++ compiler: value of environment variable "CC" or "CXX" or first found, in the PATH, of compilers specified in variable @code{cc-compilers-list} or @code{c++-compilers-list}. Then it looks for the environment variable "CFLAGS" of "CXXFLAGS" to append to the compiler command, finds the file to compile: <name-of-the-file-to-compiled>.(c|cc|C|cpp) (see *) and asks for confirmation. If you really trust mode-compile will build the correct command and want to bypass confirmation you could set the variable @code{mode-compile-never-edit-command-p} to @code{t}.

@node compile-ada-mode, compile-fortran-mode, compile-c-mode, mode-compile @section ada-mode

Same as c/c++-mode but run Ada compiler on the Ada file. There are no companion file and no way to find a main function in Ada.

@node compile-fortran-mode, compile-java-mode, compile-ada-mode, mode-compile @section fortran-mode

Same as c-mode but run Fortran compiler on .[Ff](or)? files.

@node compile-java-mode, compile-python-mode, compile-fortran-mode, mode-compile @section java-mode

Same as c-mode but call "javac" without the -o option on .java files

@node compile-python-mode, compile-message-mode, compile-java-mode, mode-compile @section python-mode

Run file with "python" (can step through errors with compile's @code{next-error} command).

@node compile-message-mode, compile-catchall, compile-python-mode, mode-compile @section message-mode

Run @code{message-send}.

@node compile-catchall, , compile-message-mode, mode-compile @section Miscellaneous Modes

This handles @code{fundamental-mode}, @code{text-mode}, @code{indented-text-mode} and any unknown modes.

Try to guess what the file is by

@itemize @bullet

@item Looking at its name and extension (see variable @code{mode-compile-filename-regexp-alist}).

@item Looking at string "#!/path/shell" at first line to extract shell to run the script with (see variable @code{mode-compile-shell-alist}).

@item Looking at a makefile in current directory.

@item Calling @code{compile} with the last compile command which is asked to be edited by user

@end itemize

The @code{kill-compile} command is then bound dynamically (buffer-local).

@node modula2, old-c-mode, mode-compile, Top @chapter Editing Modula-2 Code

This mode is used for editing Modula-2 code. It is NOT automatically invoked for any particular file extension. To invoke this mode while editing a file, type @code{M-x modula-2-mode}.

The mode provides convenient abbrevs for Modula-2 keywords, knows about the standard layout rules, and supports a native compile command.

All control constructs of Modula-2 can be reached by typing C-c followed by the first character of the construct.

The following key mappings are defined:

@multitable {C-c C-z suspend Emacs} {Control-c Control-w with} @item C-c b begin @tab C-c c case @item C-c d definition @tab C-c e else @item C-c f for @tab C-c h header @item C-c i if @tab C-c m module @item C-c l loop @tab C-c o or @item C-c p procedure @tab Control-c Control-w with @item C-c r record @tab C-c s stdio @item C-c t type @tab C-c u until @item C-c v var @tab C-c w while @item C-c x export @tab C-c y import @item C-c @{ begin-comment @tab C-c @} end-comment @item C-c C-z suspend Emacs @tab C-c C-t toggle @item C-c C-c compile @tab M-x m2-next-error next-error @item C-c C-l link @end multitable

Following are some important variables:

@table @code @item m2-indent controls the number of spaces for each indentation. @item m2-compile-command holds the command to compile a Modula-2 program. @item m2-link-command holds the command to link a Modula-2 program. @end table

Modula-2 is a programming language developed by Niklaus Wirth at ETH in Zurich, Switzerland in the late 70's. Wirth also developed Algol-W, Pascal, Modula, and Oberon.

Modula-2 corrects some of the deficiencies of Pascal. It is suitable for learning programming, for large projects written and maintained in the fashion of professional software engineers, and for real time embedded systems. Modula-2 is small, expressive, easy to learn and to read.

@node old-c-mode, p4, modula2, Top @chapter Editing C Code

This is a smart editing mode for C code. It knows a lot about C syntax and tries to position the cursor according to C layout conventions. You can change the details of the layout style with option variables.

The mode provides the following features:

@itemize @bullet @item Expression and list commands understand all C brackets. @item Tab indents for C code. @item Comments are delimited with /* ... */. @item Paragraphs are separated by blank lines only. @item Delete converts tabs to spaces as it moves back. @end itemize

The variables controlling indentation style are:

@table @code

@item c-tab-always-indent Non-nil means TAB in C mode should always reindent the current line, regardless of where in the line point is when the TAB command is used.

@item c-auto-newline Non-nil means automatically newline before and after braces, and after colons and semicolons, inserted in C code.

@item c-indent-level Indentation of C statements within surrounding block. The surrounding block's indentation is the indentation of the line on which the open-brace appears.

@item c-continued-statement-offset Extra indentation given to a substatement, such as the then-clause of an if or body of a while.

@item c-continued-brace-offset Extra indentation given to a brace that starts a substatement. This is in addition to c-continued-statement-offset.

@item c-brace-offset Extra indentation for line if it starts with an open brace.

@item c-brace-imaginary-offset An open brace following other text is treated as if it were this far to the right of the start of its line.

@item c-argdecl-indent Indentation level of declarations of C function arguments.

@item c-label-offset Extra indentation for line that is a label, or case or default.

@node php-mode, postscript, pascal, Top @chapter Editing PHP Code

PHP mode is a major mode for editing PHP source code. It is automatically invoked for buffers visiting the following files of files:

@itemize @bullet @item any file ending with one of the following extensions: @file{.phps}, @file{.php3}, @file{.php4} @item any file ending with the extension @file{.phtml} @item any file ending with the extension @file{.inc} @end itemize

The mode is an extension of cc-mode; thus it inherits all cc-mode's navigation functionality (@pxref{Top, CC Mode, , cc-mode, CC Mode Manual}). But it colors according to the PHP grammar and indents according to the PEAR coding guidelines. It also includes a couple of handy IDE-type features such as documentation search and a source and class browser.

For colorization, turn on @code{global-font-lock} or add the following to your @code{user-init-file}:

@example
(add-hook 'php-mode-user-hook 'turn-on-font-lock) @end example

To use abbrev-mode, add lines like this to your @code{user-init-file}:

@example
(add-hook 'php-mode-user-hook
'(lambda () (define-abbrev php-mode-abbrev-table "ex" "extends"))) @end example

@node postscript, prolog, php-mode, Top @chapter Editing PostScript Programs

This mode is used for editing PostScript programs. It is automatically invoked for buffers visiting any file ending with an extension of @file{.cps} or @file{.ps}.

@code{C-c C-c} will send the contents of the buffer to the NeWS server using psh(1). @code{C-c |} sends the current region. @code{C-c !} starts an interactive psh(1) window which will be used for subsequent @code{C-c C-c} or @code{C-c |} commands.

In this mode, @code{TAB} and @code{M-C- attempt to indent code based on the position of @{@}, [], and begin/end pairs. The variable @code{ps-indent-level} controls the amount of indentation used inside arrays and begin/end pairs.

The following key mappings are defined:

@multitable {C-c C-c } {<< Prefix Command >>} @item @code{tab} @tab ps-tab @item @code{C-c} @tab << Prefix Command >> @item @code{C-i} @tab ps-tab @item @code{C-c !} @tab ps-shell @item @code{C-c |} @tab ps-execute-region @item @code{C-c C-c} @tab ps-execute-buffer @end multitable

@code{M-x postscript-mode} calls the value of the variable @code{postscript-mode-hook} with no args, if that value is non-nil.

To configure this package please view the source code. This can be done by typing @kbd{C-x 4 l postscript}.

@menu * About PostScript: about-postscript. @end menu

@node about-postscript, , postscript, postscript @section About PostScript

PostScript is a programming language optimized for printing graphics and text (whether on paper, film, or CRT is immaterial). In the jargon of the day, it is a page description language. It was introduced by Adobe in 1985 and first (to my knowledge) appeared in the Apple LaserWriter. The main purpose of PostScript was to provide a convenient language in which to describe images in a device independent manner. This device independence means that the image is described without reference to any specific device features (e.g. printer resolution) so that the same description could be used on any PostScript printer (say, a LaserWriter or a Linotron) without modification.

@node prolog, rexx-mode, postscript, Top @chapter Editing and Running Prolog Code

This mode is used for editing Prolog code. It is automatically invoked for buffers visiting any file ending with an of extension @file{.prolog}.

The mode knows about Prolog syntax and comments, and can send regions to an inferior Prolog interpreter process.

Blank lines and `%%...' separate paragraphs. `%'s start comments.

The following key mappings are defined:

@multitable {M-C-x } {prolog-consult-region} @item @code{tab} @tab prolog-indent-line @item @code{C-i} @tab prolog-indent-line @item @code{M-C-x} @tab prolog-consult-region @end multitable

Entry to this mode calls the value of @code{prolog-mode-hook} if that value is non-nil.

To configure this package, type:

@example
M-x customize-group RET prolog RET @end example

@node rexx-mode, rpm-spec-mode, prolog, Top @chapter Editing REXX Code

This mode is used for editing REXX code. It is automatically invoked for buffers visiting the following types of files:

@itemize @bullet @item any file ending with an extension of @file{.rexx}. @item any file that has an interpretor line (the "shebang" line) specifying "rexx". @end itemize

The following key mappings are defined:

@multitable {backspace } {backward-delete-char-untabify} @item @code{backspace} @tab backward-delete-char-untabify @item @code{return} @tab rexx-indent-and-newline @item @code{tab} @tab rexx-indent-command @item @code{C-c} @tab << Prefix Command >> @item @code{C-i} @tab rexx-indent-command @item @code{C-m} @tab rexx-indent-and-newline @item @code{C-c C-c} @tab rexx-debug @item @code{C-c C-p} @tab rexx-find-matching-do @end multitable

The following variables control indentation style:

@table @code

@item rexx-indent

The basic indentation for do-blocks.

@item rexx-end-indent

The relative offset of the as the statements of the block. Setting it to the same value as rexx-indent places the

@item rexx-cont-indent

The indention for lines following lines.

@item rexx-tab-always-indent

Non-nil means TAB in REXX mode should always reindent the current line, regardless of where in the line the point is when the TAB command is used.

@end table

If you have set @code{rexx-end-indent} to a nonzero value, you probably want to remap @kbd{RETURN} to @code{rexx-indent-newline-indent}. It makes sure that lines indents correctly when you press @kbd{RETURN}.

An extensive abbreviation table consisting of all the keywords of REXX are supplied. Expanded keywords are converted into upper case making it easier to distinguish them. To use this feature the buffer must be in @code{abbrev-mode}. (See example below.)

Turning on REXX mode calls the value of the variable @code{rexx-mode-hook} with no args, if that value is non-nil.

For example:

@example
(setq rexx-mode-hook '(lambda ()
(setq rexx-indent 4)
(setq rexx-end-indent 4)
(setq rexx-cont-indent 4)
(local-set-key
(abbrev-mode 1)
)) @end example

will make the END aligned with the DO/SELECT. It will indent blocks and IF-statements four steps and make sure that the END jumps into the correct position when RETURN is pressed. Finally it will use the abbrev table to convert all REXX keywords into upper case.

To configure this package, type:

@example
M-x customize-group RET rexx RET @end example

@menu * About REXX: about-rexx. @end menu

@node about-rexx, , rexx-mode, rexx-mode @section About REXX

REXX is a programming language designed by Michael Cowlishaw of IBM UK Laboratories. Rexx is an acronym which stands for "Restructured Extended Executor Language". In Mike's own words: "REXX is a procedural language that allows programs and algorithms to be written in a clear and structured way."

@node rpm-spec-mode, simula, rexx-mode, Top @chapter Editing RPM Spec Files

This mode is used for editing spec files for building RPM packages. It is automatically invoked for buffers visiting any file ending with an extension of @file{.spec?} or @file{.spec.in}.

The mode much like C mode except for the syntax of comments. It uses the same keymap as C mode and has the same variables for customizing indentation. It has its own abbrev table and its own syntax table. @xref{Top, CC Mode, , cc-mode, CC Mode Manual}., for details.

Turning on RPM spec mode calls the value of the variable @code{rpm-spec-mode-hook} with no args, if that value is non-nil.

There is also a related API ("Application Program Interface"), permitting advanced developers to bypass 'shelling out' to a command line, and to manage such transactions from within a native coding language.

@node simula, sql, rpm-spec-mode, Top @chapter Editing SIMULA 87 Code

This mode is used for editing SIMULA code. It is NOT automatically invoked for any particular file extension. To invoke this mode while editing a file, type @code{M-x simula-mode}.

The mode knows about Simula syntax and standard indentation commands. It also provides convenient abbrevs for Simula keywords.

The following key mappings are defined:

@multitable {C-c C-d } {simula-forward-down-level} @item @code{:} @tab simula-electric-label @item @code{tab} @tab simula-indent-command @item @code{C-c} @tab << Prefix Command >> @item @code{C-i} @tab simula-indent-command @item @code{C-c C-d} @tab simula-forward-down-level @item @code{C-c C-n} @tab simula-next-statement @item @code{C-c C-p} @tab simula-previous-statement @item @code{C-c C-u} @tab simula-backward-up-level @end multitable

The following variables controlling indentation style:

@table @code

@item simula-tab-always-indent Non-nil means TAB in SIMULA mode should always reindent the current line, regardless of where in the line point is when the TAB command is used.

@item simula-indent-level Indentation of SIMULA statements with respect to containing block.

@item simula-substatement-offset Extra indentation after DO, THEN, ELSE, WHEN and OTHERWISE.

@item simula-continued-statement-offset Extra indentation for lines not starting a statement or substatement, e.g. a nested FOR-loop. If value is a list, each line in a multiple- line continued statement will have the car of the list extra indentation with respect to the previous line of the statement.

@item simula-label-offset -4711 Offset of SIMULA label lines relative to usual indentation.

@item simula-if-indent '(0 . 0) Extra indentation of THEN and ELSE with respect to the starting IF. Value is a cons cell, the car is extra THEN indentation and the cdr extra ELSE indentation. IF after ELSE is indented as the starting IF.

@item simula-inspect-indent '(0 . 0) Extra indentation of WHEN and OTHERWISE with respect to the corresponding INSPECT. Value is a cons cell, the car is extra WHEN indentation and the cdr extra OTHERWISE indentation.

@item simula-electric-indent nil If this variable is non-nil, `simula-indent-line' will check the previous line to see if it has to be reindented.

@item simula-abbrev-keyword 'upcase Determine how SIMULA keywords will be expanded. Value is one of the symbols `upcase', `downcase', `capitalize', (as in) `abbrev-table', or nil if they should not be changed.

@item simula-abbrev-stdproc 'abbrev-table Determine how standard SIMULA procedure and class names will be expanded. Value is one of the symbols `upcase', `downcase', `capitalize', (as in) `abbrev-table', or nil if they should not be changed.

@end table

Turning on SIMULA mode calls the value of the variable @code{simula-mode-hook} with no arguments, if that value is non-nil.

Warning: @code{simula-mode-hook} should not read in an abbrev file without calling the function @code{simula-install-standard-abbrevs} afterwards, preferably not at all.

To configure this package, type:

@example
M-x customize-group RET simula RET @end example

@menu * About SIMULA: about-simula. @end menu

@node about-simula, , simula, simula @section About SIMULA

The SIMULA programming language was designed and built by Ole-Johan Dahl and Kristen Nygaard at the Norwegian Computing Center (NCC) in Oslo between 1962 and 1967. It was originally designed and implemented as a language for discrete event simulation, but was later extended and reimplemented as a full scale general purpose programming language.

@node sql, tcl, simula, Top @chapter Specialized Mode for SQL Interpreters

This package provides a @code{sql-mode} and a @code{sql-interactive-mode}. The goals were two simple modes providing syntactic highlighting. The interactive mode had to provide a command-line history; the other mode had to provide "send region/buffer to SQL interpreter" functions. "simple" in this context means easy to use, easy to maintain and little or no bells and whistles.

@code{sql-interactive-mode} is used to interact with a SQL interpreter process in a SQLi buffer (usually called `*SQL*'). The SQLi buffer is created by calling a SQL interpreter-specific entry function. Do @emph{not} call @code{sql-interactive-mode} by itself.

The list of currently supported interpreters and the corresponding entry function used to create the SQLi buffers is shown with @kbd{M-x sql-help}.

Since @code{sql-interactive-mode} is built on top of the general command-interpreter-in-a-buffer mode (comint mode), it shares a common base functionality, and a common set of bindings, with all modes derived from comint mode. This makes these modes easier to use.

@code{sql-mode} can be used to keep editing SQL statements. The SQL statements can be sent to the SQL process in the SQLi buffer.

For documentation on the functionality provided by comint mode, and the hooks available for customizing it, see the file @file{comint.el}.

Hint for newbies: take a look at @code{dabbrev-expand}, @code{abbrev-mode}, and @code{imenu-add-menubar-index}.

To configure this package, type:

@example
M-x customize-group RET SQL RET @end example

@node tcl, teco, sql, Top @chapter Editing Tcl Code

This mode is used to edit Tcl code. The mode is automatically invoked for buffers visiting the following types of files:

@itemize @bullet @item any file ending with an extension of @file{.tcl} or @file{.exp}. @item any file that has an interpretor line (the "shebang" line) specifying "scope", "wish", "tcl", "tclsh", or "expect". @end itemize

The mode provides the following capabilities:

@itemize @bullet @item Expression and list commands understand all Tcl brackets. @item Tab indents for Tcl code. @item Paragraphs are separated by blank lines only. @item Delete converts tabs to spaces as it moves back. @end itemize

The variables controlling indentation style are:

@table @code

@item tcl-indent-level Indentation of Tcl statements within surrounding block.

@item tcl-continued-indent-level Indentation of continuation line relative to first line of command.

@end table

The variables controlling user interaction with mode (see variable documentation for details) are:

@table @code

@item tcl-tab-always-indent Controls action of TAB key.

@item tcl-auto-newline Non-nil means automatically newline before and after braces, brackets, and semicolons inserted in Tcl code.

@item tcl-electric-hash-style Controls action of `#' key.

@item tcl-use-hairy-comment-detector If t, use more complicated, but slower, comment detector. This variable is only used in Emacs 19.

@item tcl-use-smart-word-finder If not nil, use a smarter, Tcl-specific way to find the current word when looking up help on a Tcl command.

@end table

Turning on Tcl mode calls the value of the variable @code{tcl-mode-hook} with no args, if that value is non-nil. Read the documentation for @code{tcl-mode-hook} to see what kinds of interesting hook functions already exist.

The following key mappings are defined:

Tcl (Tool Command Language) is used by over half a million developers worldwide and has become a critical component in thousands of corporations. It has a simple and programmable syntax and can be either used as a standalone application or embedded in application programs. Best of all, Tcl is open source so it's completely free.

Tk is a graphical user interface toolkit that makes it possible to create powerful GUIs incredibly quickly. It proved so popular that it now ships with all distributions of Tcl.

This package implements a Teco Interpreter.

To configure this package please view the source code. This can be done by typing @kbd{C-x 4 l teco}.

@node uil-mode, verilog-mode, teco, Top @chapter Editing Motif UIL Code

This mode is used to edit Motif UIL files. It is automatically invoked for buffers visiting any file ending with an extension of @file{.uil}.

This mode is much like C mode except for the syntax of comments. It uses the same keymap as C mode and has the same variables for customizing indentation. It has its own abbrev table and its own syntax table. @xref{Top, CC Mode, , cc-mode, CC Mode Manual}., for details.

Turning on uilmode calls the value of the variable @code{uil-mode-hook} with no args, if that value is non-nil.

@node verilog-mode, vrml-mode, uil-mode, Top @chapter Editing Verilog and SystemVerilog HDL Source

This mode is used to edit Verilog and SystemVerilog source files. It is automatically invoked for buffers visiting any file ending with one of the following extensions: @file{.vh?}, @file{.svh?}, @file{.dv}.

The mode provides the following features:

@itemize @bullet @item NEWLINE, TAB indents for Verilog code. @item Delete converts tabs to spaces as it moves back. @item Supports highlighting. @item Supports SystemVerilog OVM (Open Verification Methodology) macros. @end itemize

This documentation is only a teaser and does not claim to be complete. Please check out @uref{http://www.veripool.org/wiki/verilog-mode/Documentation} for further information, FAQ and change history.

The variables controlling indentation/edit style are:

@table @code

@item verilog-indent-level Indentation of Verilog statements with respect to containing block.

@item verilog-indent-level-module Absolute indentation of Module level Verilog statements. Set to 0 to get initial and always statements lined up on the left side of your screen.

@item verilog-indent-level-declaration Indentation of declarations with respect to containing block. Set to 0 to get them list right under containing block.

@item verilog-indent-level-behavioral Indentation of first begin in a task or function block Set to 0 to get such code to lined up underneath the task or function keyword

@item verilog-indent-level-directive Indentation of `ifdef/`endif blocks

@item `verilog-cexp-indent Indentation of Verilog statements broken across lines i.e.: @example
if (a)
begin @end example

@item verilog-case-indent Indentation for case statements.

@item verilog-auto-newline Non-nil means automatically newline after semicolons and the punctuation mark after an end.

@item verilog-auto-indent-on-newline Non-nil means automatically indent line after newline

@item verilog-tab-always-indent Non-nil means TAB in Verilog mode should always reindent the current line, regardless of where in the line point is when the TAB command is used.

@item verilog-indent-begin-after-if Non-nil means to indent begin statements following a preceding if, else, while, for and repeat statements, if any. otherwise, the begin is lined up with the preceding token. If t, you get: @example
if (a)
begin // amount of indent based on `verilog-cexp-indent' @end example

otherwise you get: @example
if (a)
begin @end example

@item verilog-auto-endcomments Non-nil means a comment /* ... */ is set after the ends which ends cases, tasks, functions and modules. The type and name of the object will be set between the braces.

@item verilog-minimum-comment-distance Minimum distance (in lines) between begin and end required before a comment will be inserted. Setting this variable to zero results in every end acquiring a comment; the default avoids too many redundant comments in tight quarters.

@item verilog-auto-lineup List of contexts where auto lineup of :'s or ='s should be done.

@end table

Turning on Verilog mode calls the value of the variable @code{verilog-mode-hook} with no args, if that value is non-nil.

Other useful functions are:

@display Copyright @copyright{} 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. @end display

@unnumberedsec Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software---to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.

For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.

We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.

Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.

Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.

@iftex @unnumberedsec TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION @end iftex @ifinfo @center TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION @end ifinfo

@enumerate 0 @item This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The ``Program'', below, refers to any such program or work, and a ``work based on the Program'' means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term ``modification''.) Each licensee is addressed as ``you''.

Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.

@item You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

@item You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

@enumerate a @item You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.

@item You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.

@item If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.) @end enumerate

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program.

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.

@item You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:

@enumerate a @item Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

@item Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

@item Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) @end enumerate

The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.

If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

@item You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.

@item You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.

@item Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.

@item If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.

If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.

It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.

This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.

@item If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.

@item The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and ``any later version'', you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

@item If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

@iftex @heading NO WARRANTY @end iftex @ifinfo @center NO WARRANTY @end ifinfo

@item BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW@.

@page @unnumberedsec How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs

If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.

To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the ``copyright'' line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

@smallexample @var{one line to give the program's name and an idea of what it does.} Copyright (C) 19@var{yy} @var{name of author}

This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE@. See the GNU General Public License for more details.

You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA. @end smallexample

Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.

If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:

@smallexample Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19@var{yy} @var{name of author} Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. @end smallexample

The hypothetical commands @samp{show w} and @samp{show c} should show the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be called something other than @samp{show w} and @samp{show c}; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items---whatever suits your program.

You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a ``copyright disclaimer'' for the program, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:

@smallexample @group Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

@var{signature of Ty Coon}, 1 April 1989 Ty Coon, President of Vice @end group @end smallexample

This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General Public License instead of this License.
