@code{inhibit-startup-screen} using the Customize facility
by setting the variable @code{initial-buffer-choice} to a
non-@code{nil} value. (In that case, even if you specify one or more
files on the command line, Emacs opens but does not display them.)
-The value of @code{initial-buffer-choice} can be either the name of
-the desired file or directory, or @code{t}, which means to display the
