If that doesn't yield a file that exists, the previous hyphen is stripped, and so on until all hyphens are gone. For example, if the terminal type is `aaa-48-foo', Emacs will try first `term/aaa-48-foo.el', then `term/aaa-48.el' and finally -`term/aaa.el'. +`term/aaa.el'. Each terminal specific file should contain a function +named terminal-init-TERMINALNAME (eg terminal-init-aaa-48 for +term/aaa-48.el) that Emacs will call in order to initialize the +terminal. The terminal files should not contain any top level forms +that are executed when the file is loaded, all the initialization +actions are performed by the terminal-init-TERMINALNAME functions.
