It's very useful. Here's a sample run of pdftex with that option,
which makes the error output match the format that most language
compilers use (e.g. gcc).
So you can run tex in an Emacs *compilation* buffer (with M-x
compile<CR>) and Emacs can parse all the errors (C-x `) and take you
to them one by one.
$ pdftex --file-line-error-style -interaction nonstopmode c
This is pdfeTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.30.6-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.5)
