27;; executable.el is used by certain major modes to insert a suitable
28;; #! line at the beginning of the file, if the file does not already
29;; have one.

31;; Unless it has a magic number, a Unix file with executable mode is passed to
32;; a new instance of the running shell (or to a Bourne shell if a csh is
33;; running and the file starts with `:'). Only a shell can start such a file,
34;; exec() cannot, which is why it is important to have a magic number in every
35;; executable script. Such a magic number is made up by the characters `#!'
36;; the filename of an interpreter (in COFF, ELF or somesuch format) and one
37;; optional argument.
38
39;; This library is for certain major modes like sh-, awk-, perl-, tcl- or
40;; makefile-mode to insert or update a suitable #! line at the beginning of
41;; the file, if the file does not already have one and the file is not a
42;; default file of that interpreter (like .profile or makefile). It also
43;; makes the file executable if it wasn't, as soon as it's saved.
44
45;; It also allows debugging scripts, with an adaptation of compile, as far
46;; as interpreters give out meaningful error messages.
47
48;; Modes that use this should nconc `executable-map' to the end of their own
49;; keymap and `executable-font-lock-keywords' to the end of their own font
50;; lock keywords. Their mode-setting commands should call
51;; `executable-set-magic'.
