30 ;; Support for remote logins using `rlogin'.
31 ;; This program is layered on top of shell.el; the code here only accounts
32 ;; for the variations needed to handle a remote process, e.g. directory
33 ;; tracking and the sending of some special characters.
35 ;; If you wish for rlogin mode to prompt you in the minibuffer for
36 ;; passwords when a password prompt appears, just enter m-x send-invisible
37 ;; and type in your line, or add `comint-watch-for-password-prompt' to
38 ;; `comint-output-filter-functions'.

144 INPUT-ARGS should start with a host name; it may also contain
145 other arguments for `rlogin'.
147 Input is sent line-at-a-time to the remote connection.
149 Communication with the remote host is recorded in a buffer `*rlogin-HOST*'
150 \(or `*rlogin-USER@HOST*' if the remote username differs\).
151 If a prefix argument is given and the buffer `*rlogin-HOST*' already exists,
152 a new buffer with a different connection will be made.
154 When called from a program, if the optional second argument BUFFER is
155 a string or buffer, it specifies the buffer to use.
157 The variable `rlogin-program' contains the name of the actual program to
158 run. It can be a relative or absolute path.
160 The variable `rlogin-explicit-args' is a list of arguments to give to
161 the rlogin when starting. They are added after any arguments given in
164 If the default value of `rlogin-directory-tracking-mode' is t, then the
165 default directory in that buffer is set to a remote (FTP) file name to
166 access your home directory on the remote machine. Occasionally this causes
167 an error, if you cannot access the home directory on that machine. This
168 error is harmless as long as you don't try to use that default directory.
170 If `rlogin-directory-tracking-mode' is neither t nor nil, then the default
171 directory is initially set up to your (local) home directory.
172 This is useful if the remote machine and your local machine
173 share the same files via NFS. This is the default.
175 If you wish to change directory tracking styles during a session, use the
