After syntax check is finished, its status is displayed in the mode line. The following statuses are defined.
| Flymake* or Flymake:E/W* | Flymake is currently running. For the second case, 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. |
