Such a function is on my wishlist for a while, not only because of vc. Together with a function which returns the hostname a filename is referring to (this is not obvious due to default values). Another approach would be to use `file-remote-p'. Up to now it is not specified how the non-nil value looks like. It could be a list with such attributes: | Test whether file specifies a location on a remote system. | Return an identification of the system if the location is indeed | remote. The identification of the system may comprise a method | to access the system and its hostname, amongst other things. > Kai Best regards, Michael. _______________________________________________ Tramp-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/tramp-devel
