Subject: How does Emacs find the buffer for a file?
Date: Sat, 15 Jun 2002 20:08:35 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <vafu1o4za70.fsf@INBOX.auto.emacs.devel.tok.lucy.cs.uni-dortmund.de> (raw)
When you do C-x C-f /some/file RET, then Emacs runs
insert-file-contents and puts the output in some buffer. How does
Emacs determine the buffer from the filename?
Here's some background on why I'm asking this strange question:
There is a bug in Tramp, and I don't know how to start tracking it
down. Tramp allows you to edit remote files. If you say C-x C-f
/foo RET (editing the local file /foo), and then say C-x C-f
/[user@host]/foo RET (editing a remote file, also named /foo, via
Tramp), then the remote file contents are inserted into the buffer
containing the local file /foo.
Evaling (buffer-file-name) and buffer-file-name in the remote file
returns "/[sm/user@host]/foo". (The "sm/" part is an optional part
of the Tramp filename syntax, and Tramp inserts a default value there
if it is not given by the user.)
