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

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