Still, even the parent section could be confusing:
The output that a subprocess writes to its standard output stream is
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
passed to a function called the “filter function”. The default filter
function simply inserts the output into a buffer, which is called the
associated buffer of the process (*note Process Buffers::). If the process
has no buffer then the default filter discards the output.
The highlighted section is not true, is it?
Clément.
