Subject: shell-quote-argument: make it behave as if on Unix?
Date: Wed, 10 Apr 2002 15:46:37 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <vafadsb1xaa.fsf@INBOX.auto.emacs.devel.tok.lucy.cs.uni-dortmund.de> (raw)
The Tramp package sends commands to a remote Unix host. These
commands sometimes include filenames, so I pass those through
shell-quote-argument.
But if the local Emacs is running on Windows, then
shell-quote-argument produces filenames which are correct for
Windows, and not for Unix. But the filenames will be used on the
remote Unix host.
Is there a designed-in facility for telling shell-quote-argument to
behave as if on Unix, even if Emacs is running on Windows?
Or is shell-quote-argument the wrong function to use, altogether?
(Right now, I'm binding system-type before invoking
shell-quote-argument, but I'm afraid that is the wrong thing to do.
Also, I have to wait for a Windows user to check whether it works.)
