argument that specifies where the standard output from the program will
go. It should be a buffer or a buffer name; if it is a buffer name,
that will create the buffer if it does not already exist. It can also
-be @code{nil}, which says to discard the output unless a custom filter function
+be @code{nil}, which says to discard the output, unless a custom filter function
handles it. (@xref{Filter Functions}, and @ref{Read and Print}.)
Normally, you should avoid having multiple processes send output to the
same buffer because their output would be intermixed randomly.
By default, process output is inserted in the associated buffer.
(You can change this by defining a custom filter function,
-@pxref{Filter Functions}). The position to insert the output is
+@pxref{Filter Functions}.) The position to insert the output is
determined by the @code{process-mark}, which is then updated to point
to the end of the text just inserted. Usually, but not always, the
@code{process-mark} is at the end of the buffer.

When Emacs calls a process filter function, it provides the process
output as a multibyte string or as a unibyte string according to the
process's filter coding system. Emacs
