The default is nil, which means to use your init file

+as specified by `user-init-file'. If the value is not nil,
+it should be an absolute file name.

+To make this feature work, you'll need to put something in your
+init file to specify the value of `custom-file'. Just
+customizing the variable won't suffice, because Emacs won't know
+which file to load unless the init file sets `custom-file'.
When you change this variable, look in the previous custom file
\(usually your init file) for the forms `(custom-set-variables ...)'
