14.3.8 Autoloading

The autoload feature allows you to call a function or macro whose function definition has not yet been loaded into SXEmacs. It specifies which file contains the definition. When an autoload object appears as a symbol’s function definition, calling that symbol as a function automatically loads the specified file; then it calls the real definition loaded from that file. See Autoload.
