+@section File Local Variables
+
+  This section describes the functions and variables that affect
+processing of file local variables.  @xref{File variables, ,
+Local Variables in Files, emacs, The GNU Emacs Manual}, for basic
+information about file local variables.
+
+@defopt enable-local-variables
+This variable controls whether to process file local variables.  A
+value of @code{t} means process them unconditionally; @code{nil} means
+ignore them; anything else means ask the user what to do for each
+file.  The default value is @code{t}.
+@end defopt
+
+@defun hack-local-variables &optional mode-only
+This function parses, and binds or evaluates as appropriate, any local
+variables specified by the contents of the current buffer.  The variable
+@code{enable-local-variables} has its effect here.  However, this
+function does not look for the @samp{mode:} local variable in the
+@w{@samp{-*-}} line.  @code{set-auto-mode} does that, also taking
+@code{enable-local-variables} into account (@pxref{Auto Major Mode}).
+
+If the optional argument @var{mode-only} is non-@code{nil}, then all
+this function does is return @code{t} if the @w{@samp{-*-}} line or
+the local variables list specifies a mode and @code{nil} otherwise.
+It does not set the mode nor any other file local variable.
+@end defun
+
+  If a file local variable could specify a function that would
+be called later, or an expression that would be executed later, simply
+visiting a file could take over your Emacs.  To prevent this, Emacs
+takes care not to allow to set such file local variables.
+
+  For one thing, any variable whose name ends in @samp{-command},
+@samp{-frame-alist}, @samp{-function}, @samp{-functions},
+@samp{-hook}, @samp{-hooks}, @samp{-form}, @samp{-forms}, @samp{-map},
+@samp{-map-alist}, @samp{-mode-alist}, @samp{-program}, or
+@samp{-predicate} cannot be given a file local value.  In general,
+you should use such a name whenever it is appropriate for the
+variable's meaning.  The variables @samp{font-lock-keywords},
+@samp{font-lock-keywords-[0-9]}, and
+@samp{font-lock-syntactic-keywords} cannot be given file local values either.
+These rules can be overridden by giving the variable's
+name a non-@code{nil} @code{safe-local-variable} property.  If one
+gives it a @code{safe-local-variable} property of @code{t}, then one
+can give the variable any file local value.  One can also give any
+symbol, including the above, a @code{safe-local-variable} property
+that is a function taking exactly one argument.  In that case, giving
+a variable with that name a file local value is only allowed if the
+function returns non-@code{nil} when called with that value as
+argument.
+
+  In addition, any variable whose name has a non-@code{nil}
+@code{risky-local-variable} property is also ignored.  So are all
+variables listed in @code{ignored-local-variables}:
+
+@defvar ignored-local-variables
+This variable holds a list of variables that should not be given local
+values by files.  Any value specified for one of these variables is
+ignored.
+@end defvar
+
+@defun risky-local-variable-p sym &optional val
+If @var{val} is non-@code{nil}, returns non-@code{nil} if giving
+@var{sym} a file local value of @var{val} would be risky, for any of
+the reasons stated above.  If @var{val} is @code{nil} or omitted, only
+returns @code{nil} if @var{sym} can be safely assigned any file local
+value whatsoever.
+@end defun
+
+  The @samp{Eval:} ``variable'' is also a potential loophole, so Emacs
+normally asks for confirmation before handling it.
+
+@defopt enable-local-eval
+This variable controls processing of @samp{Eval:} in @samp{-*-} lines
+or local variables
+lists in files being visited.  A value of @code{t} means process them
+unconditionally; @code{nil} means ignore them; anything else means ask
+the user what to do for each file.  The default value is @code{maybe}.
+@end defopt
+
+  Text properties are also potential loopholes, since their values
+could include functions to call.  So Emacs discards all text
+properties from string values specified for file local variables.
