@cindex shadowed Lisp files
@deffn Command list-load-path-shadows &optional stringp
This command shows a list of @dfn{shadowed} Emacs Lisp files. A
shadowed file is one that will not normally be loaded, despite being
in a directory on @code{load-path}, due to the existence of another
similarly-named file in a directory earlier on @code{load-path}.
For instance, suppose @code{load-path} is set to
@smallexample
("/opt/emacs/site-lisp" "/usr/share/emacs/23.3/lisp")
@end smallexample
@noindent
and that both these directories contain a file named @file{foo.el}.
Then @code{(require '
foo
)}
never
loads
the
file
in
the
second
directory
.
Such
a
situation
might
indicate
a
problem
in
the
way
Emacs
was
installed
.
When
called
from
Lisp
,
this
function
prints
a
message
listing
the
shadowed
files
,
instead
of
displaying
them
in
a
buffer

If

optional
argument
@

stringp
}
is
non

code
{
nil
},
it
instead
returns
the
shadowed
files
as
a
string
