@defun unhandled-file-name-directory filename
This function returns the name of a directory that is not magic.  It
uses the directory part of @var{filename} if that is not magic.  For a
magic file name, it invokes the file name handler, which therefore
decides what value to return.

This is useful for running a subprocess; every subprocess must have a
non-magic directory to serve as its current directory, and this function
is a good way to come up with one.

For a magic file name, it invokes the file name handler, which
therefore decides what value to return.  If @var{filename} is not
accessible from a local process, then the file name handler should
indicate it by returning nil.
