Herein is found the programming manual for elisp (Emacs Lisp), the dialect of Lisp used to extend (and write applications inside) GNU Emacs. Because Emacs Lisp is designed for use in an editor, it has special features for scanning and parsing text as well as features for handling files, buffers, displays, subprocesses, and so on. All Emacs editing commands are available. This manual attempts to be a full description of Emacs Lisp. For a beginner's introduction to Emacs Lisp, see ``An Introduction to Emacs Lisp Programming,'' by Bob Chassell. Also see ``The GNU Emacs Manual''. This package contains the manual corresponding to Emacs 21.x. For Emacs 22 and up, the Lisp manual is included in the main Emacs distribution and consequently in the main Emacs package.
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
