<h4 class="subsection">16.5.2 Variables and Similar Entities</h4>

<p>Here are the commands for defining variables and similar
entities:

     
<a name="index-defvr-963"></a>
<dl><dt><code>@defvr </code><var>category</var> <var>name</var><dd>The <code>@defvr</code> command is a general definition command for
something like a variable&mdash;an entity that records a value.  You must
choose a term to describe the category of entity being defined; for
example, &ldquo;Variable&rdquo; could be used if the entity is a variable. 
Write the <code>@defvr</code> command at the beginning of a line and
follow it on the same line by the category of the entity and the
name of the entity.

     <p>Capitalize the category name like a title.  If the name of the category
contains spaces, as in the name &ldquo;User Option&rdquo;, enclose it in braces. 
Otherwise, the second word will be mistaken for the name of the entity. 
For example,

     <pre class="example">          @defvr {User Option} fill-column
          This buffer-local variable specifies
          the maximum width of filled lines.
          ...
          @end defvr
</pre>
     <p>Terminate the definition with <code>@end defvr</code> on a line of its
own.

     <p>The template is:

     <pre class="example">          @defvr <var>category</var> <var>name</var>
          <var>body-of-definition</var>
          @end defvr
</pre>
     <p><code>@defvr</code> creates an entry in the index of variables for <var>name</var>.

     <p><a name="index-defvar-964"></a><br><dt><code>@defvar </code><var>name</var><dd>The <code>@defvar</code> command is the definition command for variables. 
<code>@defvar</code> is equivalent to &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">@defvr Variable
...</span></samp>&rsquo;.

     <p>For example:

     <pre class="example">          @defvar kill-ring
          ...
          @end defvar
</pre>
     <p>The template is:

     <pre class="example">          @defvar <var>name</var>
          <var>body-of-definition</var>
          @end defvar
</pre>
     <p><code>@defvar</code> creates an entry in the index of variables for
<var>name</var>.

     <p><a name="index-defopt-965"></a><br><dt><code>@defopt </code><var>name</var><dd><a name="index-User-options_002c-marking-966"></a>The <code>@defopt</code> command is the definition command for <dfn>user
options</dfn>, i.e., variables intended for users to change according to
taste; Emacs has many such (see <a href="../emacs/Variables.html#Variables">Variables</a>).  <code>@defopt</code> is equivalent to &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">@defvr {User
Option} ...</span></samp>&rsquo; and works like <code>@defvar</code>.  It creates an entry
in the index of variables.
