26;;; Commentary:
27
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.
32
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.
141INPUT-ARGS should start with a host name; it may also contain
142other arguments for `rlogin'.
143
144Input is sent line-at-a-time to the remote connection.
145
146Communication with the remote host is recorded in a buffer `*rlogin-HOST*'
147\(or `*rlogin-USER@HOST*' if the remote username differs\).
148If a prefix argument is given and the buffer `*rlogin-HOST*' already exists,
149a new buffer with a different connection will be made.
150
151When called from a program, if the optional second argument BUFFER is
152a string or buffer, it specifies the buffer to use.
153
154The variable `rlogin-program' contains the name of the actual program to
155run. It can be a relative or absolute path.
156
157The variable `rlogin-explicit-args' is a list of arguments to give to
158the rlogin when starting. They are added after any arguments given in
159INPUT-ARGS.
160
161If the default value of `rlogin-directory-tracking-mode' is t, then the
162default directory in that buffer is set to a remote (FTP) file name to
163access your home directory on the remote machine. Occasionally this causes
164an error, if you cannot access the home directory on that machine. This
165error is harmless as long as you don't try to use that default directory.
166
167If `rlogin-directory-tracking-mode' is neither t nor nil, then the default
168directory is initially set up to your (local) home directory.
169This is useful if the remote machine and your local machine
170share the same files via NFS. This is the default.
171
172If you wish to change directory tracking styles during a session, use the
173function `rlogin-directory-tracking-mode' rather than simply setting the
