the \"%s\" format specifier.  If that specifier is present, the input
filename will be put into the command line at that spot.  If the
specifier is not present, the input should be read from standard
input.

If they are variables, this variable is a string containing a Perl
implementation for this functionality.  This Perl program will be transferred
to the remote host, and it is available as shell function with the same name.

;; * Don't use globbing for directories with many files, as this is

;; * Make it work for different encodings, and for different file name
;;   encodings, too.  (Daniel Pittman)
;; * Don't search for perl5 and perl.  Instead, only search for perl and
;;   then look if it's the right version (with `perl -v').
;; * When editing a remote CVS controlled file as a different user, VC
;;   gets confused about the file locking status.  Try to find out why
;;   the workaround doesn't work.
;; * Allow out-of-band methods as _last_ multi-hop.  Open a connection
;;   until the last but one hop via `start-file-process'.  Apply it
;;   also for ftp and smb.
;; * WIBNI if we had a command "trampclient"?  If I was editing in
;;   some shell with root privileges, it would be nice if I could
;;   just call
;;     trampclient filename.c
;;   as an editor, and the _current_ shell would connect to an Emacs
;;   server and would be used in an existing non-privileged Emacs
;;   session for doing the editing in question.
;;   That way, I need not tell Emacs my password again and be afraid
;;   that it makes it into core dumps or other ugly stuff (I had Emacs
;;   once display a just typed password in the context of a keyboard
;;   sequence prompt for a question immediately following in a shell
;;   script run within Emacs -- nasty).

;; * How can I interrupt the remote process with a signal
;;   (interrupt-process seems not to work)?  (Markus Triska)
;; * Avoid the local shell entirely for starting remote processes.  If
;;   so, I think even a signal, when delivered directly to the local
;;   SSH instance, would correctly be propagated to the remote process
;;   automatically; possibly SSH would have to be started with
;;   "-t".  (Markus Triska)
;; * It makes me wonder if tramp couldn't fall back to ssh when scp
;;   isn't on the remote host.  (Mark A. Hershberger)
;; * Use lsh instead of ssh.  (Alfred M. Szmidt)
;; * Optimize out-of-band copying when both methods are scp-like (not
;;   rsync).
;; * Keep a second connection open for out-of-band methods like scp or
;;   rsync.
;; * Try telnet+curl as new method.  It might be useful for busybox,
;;   without built-in uuencode/uudecode.
