Examples of Omitting Various File Types
=======================================

   * If you wish to avoid seeing RCS files and the `RCS' directory,
     then put

          (setq dired-omit-files
                (concat dired-omit-files "\\|^RCS$\\|,v$"))

     in the `dired-load-hook' (Note: Installation).  This assumes
     `dired-omit-localp' has its default value of `no-dir' to make the
     `^'-anchored matches work.  As a slower alternative, with
     `dired-omit-localp' set to `nil', you can use `/' instead of `^'
     in the regexp.

   * If you use `tib', the bibliography program for use with TeX and
     LaTeX, and you want to omit the `INDEX' and the `*-t.tex' files,
     then put

          (setq dired-omit-files
                (concat dired-omit-files "\\|^INDEX$\\|-t\\.tex$"))

     in the `dired-load-hook' (Note: Installation).

   * If you do not wish to see `dot' files (files starting with a `.'),
     then put

          (setq dired-omit-files
                (concat dired-omit-files "\\|^\\..+$"))

     in the `dired-load-hook' (Note: Installation).
