directory names. Each element looks like

This variable's value is a function to use for making backups instead
of the default @code{make-backup-file-name}. A value of @code{nil}
gives the default @code{make-backup-file-name} behavior.

This could be buffer-local to do something special for specific
files. If you define it, you may need to change
@code{backup-file-name-p} and @code{file-name-sans-versions} too.

After Emacs reads your init file, it initializes
@code{auto-save-list-file-name} (if you have not already set it
non-@code{nil}) based on this prefix, adding the host name and process
ID. If you set this to @code{nil} in your init file, then Emacs does
not initialize @code{auto-save-list-file-name}.
