flymake: Syntax check statuses
3.5 Syntax check statuses
=========================
After syntax check is finished, its status is displayed in the mode
line. The following statuses are defined.
Flymake* or Flymake is currently running. For the second case,
Flymake:E/W* E/W contains the error and warning count for the
previous run.
Flymake Syntax check is not running. Usually this means
syntax check was successfully passed (no errors, no
warnings). Other possibilities are: syntax check
was killed as a result of executing
‘flymake-compile’, or syntax check cannot start as
compilation is currently in progress.
Flymake:E/W Number of errors/warnings found by the syntax check
process.
Flymake:! Flymake was unable to find master file for the
current buffer.
The following errors cause a warning message and switch flymake mode
OFF for the buffer.
CFGERR Syntax check process returned nonzero exit code, but
no errors/warnings were reported. This indicates a
possible configuration error (for example, no
suitable error message patterns for the syntax check
tool).
NOMASTER Flymake was unable to find master file for the
current buffer.
NOMK Flymake was unable to find a suitable buildfile for
the current buffer.
PROCERR Flymake was unable to launch a syntax check process.
