25;;; Commentary:
26
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.
31
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'.
36
37;;; Code:
38
39;; FIXME?
40;; Maybe this file should be obsolete.
41;; http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2013-02/msg00517.html
42;; It only adds rlogin-directory-tracking-mode. Is that useful?

141 "Open a network login connection via `rlogin' with args INPUT-ARGS.
142INPUT-ARGS should start with a host name; it may also contain
143other arguments for `rlogin'.
144
145Input is sent line-at-a-time to the remote connection.
146
147Communication with the remote host is recorded in a buffer `*rlogin-HOST*'
148\(or `*rlogin-USER@HOST*' if the remote username differs\).
149If a prefix argument is given and the buffer `*rlogin-HOST*' already exists,
150a new buffer with a different connection will be made.
151
152When called from a program, if the optional second argument BUFFER is
153a string or buffer, it specifies the buffer to use.
154
155The variable `rlogin-program' contains the name of the actual program to
156run. It can be a relative or absolute path.
157
158The variable `rlogin-explicit-args' is a list of arguments to give to
159the rlogin when starting. They are added after any arguments given in
160INPUT-ARGS.
161
162If the default value of `rlogin-directory-tracking-mode' is t, then the
163default directory in that buffer is set to a remote (FTP) file name to
164access your home directory on the remote machine. Occasionally this causes
165an error, if you cannot access the home directory on that machine. This
166error is harmless as long as you don't try to use that default directory.
167
168If `rlogin-directory-tracking-mode' is neither t nor nil, then the default
169directory is initially set up to your (local) home directory.
170This is useful if the remote machine and your local machine
171share the same files via NFS. This is the default.
172
173If you wish to change directory tracking styles during a session, use the
174function `rlogin-directory-tracking-mode' rather than simply setting the
175variable."
