Most quickfix and location-list commands are documented under :help quickfix

There are various ways to create a new location list:

:lfile [errorfile]
read the errorfile and jump to the first error

:lhelpgrep {pattern}[@xx]
search the help for the pattern (if @xx is given, it's a language code)
and return the results as a location list for the help window. If the
current window is not a help window, its location list isn't changed.

:lvimgrep[!] /pattern/[g][j] {file}...
search the named file(s) for the pattern and return the result as a
location list

similarly :lgrep, :lmake, etc.

Best regards,
Tony.
