It's documented in the manual, (emacs) Specifying File Variables
Apart from using a `-*-' line, you can define file local variables
using a "local variables list" near the end of the file. The start of
the local variables list should be no more than 3000 characters from
the end of the file, and must be on the last page if the file is
divided into pages.
