Yes, when default-directory is local.
If default-directory is remote, and :file-handler indicates that a
remote process shall run, the situation is different. If the
corresponding file name handler offers an own make-network-process
implementation, it returns that process. But if the file name handler
misses an implementation, no local process shall run.
This is the same situation as with start-file-process. The file name
handler for ssh returns a process object:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(with-temp-buffer
(let ((default-directory "/ssh::"))
(start-file-process "foo" (current-buffer) "/bin/true")))
=> #<process foo>
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
But for Tramp methods which do not own a start-file-process
implementation, no process is created:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(with-temp-buffer
(let ((default-directory "/sftp::"))
(start-file-process "foo" (current-buffer) "/bin/true")))
=> nil
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
This is documented in the Lisp Manual, see node "Asynchronous Processes":
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Some file handlers may not support ‘start-file-process’ (for
example the function ‘ange-ftp-hook-function’). In such cases,
this function does nothing and returns ‘nil’.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I believe make-network-process shall be have similar.
Best regards, Michael.
