According to [[info:emacs#Initial Options]], --batch implies -q.
About -q and -Q, we have:
‘-q’
‘--no-init-file’
Do not load any initialization file (*note Init File::). When
Emacs is invoked with this option, the Customize facility does not
allow options to be saved (*note Easy Customization::). This
option does not disable loading ‘site-start.el’.
[...]
‘-Q’
‘--quick’
Start emacs with minimum customizations. This is similar to using
‘-q’, ‘--no-site-file’, ‘--no-site-lisp’, and ‘--no-splash’
together. This also stops Emacs from processing X resources by
setting ‘inhibit-x-resources’ to ‘t’ (*note Resources::).
So --batch implies -q, which is enough to bypass init.el. -Q is
stronger than -q: it adds ‘--no-site-file’, ‘--no-site-lisp’, and
‘--no-splash’ and inibits X resources. But AFAIK, only my init.el
loads Org, and not site-start.el, which is empty here, or any Lisp
file in a site-lisp directory. I searched every file in
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp for "org" and I didn't find any line that
loads Org.
I am an Emacs beginner though, so I may be wrong.
