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

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