330 was supposed to happen is that @value{tramp} tries to find out what files exist |

333 So, @value{tramp} basically issues @command{cd} and @command{ls} commands and |
45861 | 334 also sometimes @command{echo} with globbing. Another command that is |
335 often used is @command{test} to find out whether a file is writable or a | |
336 directory or the like. The output of each command is parsed for the | |
337 necessary operation. | |
338 | |
339 @item | |
340 Suppose you are finished with filename completion, have entered @kbd{C-x | |
341 C-f}, a full file name and hit @kbd{@key{RET}}. Now comes the time to | |
342 transfer the file contents from the remote host to the local host so | |
343 that you can edit them. | |

347 For inline transfers, @value{tramp} issues a command like @samp{mimencode -b |
45861 | 348 /path/to/remote/file}, waits until the output has accumulated in the |
349 buffer that's used for communication, then decodes that output to | |

544 @cindex methods, multi-hop |
45861 | 545 A variant of the inline methods are the @dfn{multi-hop methods}. |
546 These methods allow you to connect a remote host using a number `hops', | |
547 each of which connects to a different host. This is useful if you are | |
548 in a secured network where you need to go through a bastion host to | |
549 connect to the outside world. | |

557 The inline methods in @value{tramp} are quite powerful and can work in |
45861 | 558 situations where you cannot use an external transfer program to connect. |
559 Inline methods are the only methods that work when connecting to the | |
560 remote machine via telnet. (There are also strange inline methods which | |
561 allow you to transfer files between @emph{user identities} rather than | |
562 hosts, see below.) | |

797 Using the @command{ssh} command to connect securely to the remote | |

799 identical to the @option{scp} method. | |
800 | |
801 While @command{rsync} performs much better than @command{scp} when | |
802 transferring files that exist on both hosts, this advantage is lost if | |
803 the file exists only on one side of the connection. | |

1006 @cindex su hop method |

1008 This method does not actually contact a different host, but it allows | |
1009 you to become a different user on the host you're currently on. This | |
1010 might be useful if you want to edit files as root, but the remote host | |
1011 does not allow remote root logins. In this case you can use | |
1012 @option{telnet}, @option{rsh} or @option{ssh} to connect to the | |
1013 remote host as a non-root user, then use an @option{su} hop to become | |
1014 root. But @option{su} need not be the last hop in a sequence, you could | |
1015 also use it somewhere in the middle, if the need arises. | |

1323 @value{tramp} depends on a number of programs on the remote host in order to |
45861 | 1324 function, including @command{ls}, @command{test}, @command{find} and |
1325 @command{cat}. | |
1326 | |
1327 In addition to these required tools, there are various tools that may be | |
1328 required based on the connection method. See @ref{Inline methods} and | |
1329 @ref{External transfer methods} for details on these. | |
1330 | |
1331 Certain other tools, such as @command{perl} (or @command{perl5}) and | |
1332 @command{grep} will be used if they can be found. When they are | |
1333 available, they are used to improve the performance and accuracy of | |

2228 function is advised to call an @value{tramp} specific function for remote files. |
45861 | 2229 |
2230 The @code{tramp-vc-workfile-unchanged-p} function uses the functioning VC | |
2231 diff functionality to determine if any changes have occurred between the | |
2232 workfile and the version control master. | |
2233 | |
2234 This requires that a shell command be executed remotely, a process that | |
2235 is notably heavier-weight than the mtime comparison used for local | |

2267 login name in some circumstances. |
45861 | 2268 |
2269 This will not, for obvious reasons, work if the remote system has a | |
2270 different set of logins. As such, it is necessary to delegate to the | |
2271 remote machine the job of determining the login name associated with a | |
2272 uid. | |
2273 | |
2274 Unfortunately, with the profusion of distributed management systems such | |
2275 as @code{NIS}, @code{NIS+} and @code{NetInfo}, there is no simple, | |
2276 reliable and portable method for performing this mapping. | |
2277 | |
2278 Thankfully, the only place in the VC code that depends on the mapping of | |
2279 a uid to a login name is the @code{vc-file-owner} function. This returns | |
2280 the login of the owner of the file as a string. | |
2281 | |
2282 This function has been advised to use the output of @command{ls} on the | |
2283 remote machine to determine the login name, delegating the problem of | |
2284 mapping the uid to the login to the remote system which should know more | |
2285 about it than I do. | |
2286 | |
2287 | |
2288 @node Back-end Versions | |
2289 @subsection How VC determines what release your RCS is | |
2290 | |
2291 VC needs to know what release your revision control binaries you are | |
2292 running as not all features VC supports are available with older | |
2293 versions of @command{rcs(1)}, @command{cvs(1)} or @command{sccs(1)}. | |
2294 | |
2295 The default implementation of VC determines this value the first time it | |
2296 is needed and then stores the value globally to avoid the overhead of | |
2297 executing a process and parsing its output each time the information is | |
2298 needed. | |
2299 | |
2300 Unfortunately, life is not quite so easy when remote version control | |
2301 comes into the picture. Each remote machine may have a different version | |
2302 of the version control tools and, while this is painful, we need to | |
2303 ensure that unavailable features are not used remotely. | |

2307 local to each @value{tramp} buffer, forcing VC to determine these values |
45861 | 2308 again each time a new file is visited. |
2309 | |
2310 This has, quite obviously, some performance implications. Thankfully, | |
2311 most of the common operations performed by VC do not actually require | |
2312 that the remote version be known. This makes the problem far less | |
2313 apparent. | |
