Subject: Calling internal-default-process-sentinel from another sentinel?
Date: Wed, 18 Nov 2020 14:28:06 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87sg966bh5.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)


For an asynchronous process I'd like to preserve the default sentinel
behaviour (insert a status message into the process's buffer, if there
is one), and only in one particular case (successful completion) add
some other functionality (follow up with a custom action).

Such a use case doesn't seem uncommon and simply calling
'internal-default-process-sentinel' from a custom sentinel would seem a
good solution, but the "internal-" prefix or the fact that such usage is
completely absent from Emacs core and very rare even in 3rd party
code[1] don't inspire confidence.

I'd appreciate advice or opinions on whether reusing
internal-default-process-sentinel is acceptable or if there are good
alternatives other than emulating its behaviour manually in the custom
sentinel.

Thank you,

  Štěpán
