@cindex autoload
Often you do not have to give any command to load a library, because
the commands defined in the library are set up to @dfn{autoload} that
library. Trying to run any of those commands calls @code{load} to load
the library; this replaces the autoload definitions with the real ones
from the library.
Some commands are @dfn{autoloaded}: when you run them, Emacs will
automatically load the associated library first. For instance, the
@code{compile} and @code{compilation-mode} commands
(@pxref{Compilation}) are autoloaded; if you call either command,
Emacs automatically loads the @code{compile} library. In contrast,
the command @code{recompile} is not autoloaded, so it is unavailable
until you load the @code{compile} library.
