You can natively-compile either a single function or macro
definition, or a whole file of Lisp code, with the
@code{native-compile} function. Natively-compiling a file will
produce both the corresponding @file{.elc} file with byte code and the
@file{.eln} file with native code.

@deffn Command emacs-lisp-native-compile
This command compiles the file visited by the current buffer into
native code, if the file was changed since the last time it was
natively-compiled.
@end deffn
@deffn Command emacs-lisp-native-compile-and-load
This command compiles the file visited by the current buffer into
native code, like @code{emacs-lisp-native-compile}, but it also loads
the native code when the compilation finishes.
@end deffn
The following function allows Lisp programs to test whether
native-compilation is available at runtime.
