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'.

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