What is the EL file format?
A file with the .EL extension is a file known as Emacs Lisp programming language source code. It belongs to the Developer Files category. This format is associated with The GNU Project.
The reliable way to open a .EL file is with software that recognises this exact format, rather than guessing from the file name. If you are not sure what created a file, our file identifier can read its first bytes and name the real format, even when the file has been renamed.
This page lists 3 programs that open .EL files. A fully verified, hand-written description of this format is being prepared; until then, the details on this page are drawn directly from our database.
