35.3 The Bee Root Directory

The Bee Root Directory is the directory that contains information files that describe a project. When editing a file, the BEE tries to automatically setup the Bee Root Directory. For that, it seeks one of the following file: Makefile, .afile or .etags. This search unwind directories until the root directory is reached or until the number of scanned directories is more than the value of the list variable bee-root-search-depth.

An alternative Bee Root Directory may be set. This is done clicking on the Root of the tool bar icon.
