I propose that the information is also mentioned in 31.7::call-process
because at the same page, this is mentioned in context of another
command:
-- Function: process-file program &optional infile buffer display
&rest args
This function processes files synchronously in a separate process.
It is similar to `call-process' but may invoke a file handler based
on the value of the variable `default-directory'. The current
working directory of the subprocess is `default-directory'.

The standard input for the process comes from file @var{infile} if
