This function sends the text from @var{start} to @var{end} as
standard input to a process running @var{program}. It deletes the text
@uref{https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/tramp/}. The version number of
@value{tramp} can be obtained by the variable @code{tramp-version}.
For released @value{tramp} versions, this is a three-number string
-like ``2.4.2''.
+like ``2.4.3''.
A @value{tramp} release, which is packaged with Emacs, could differ
slightly from the corresponding standalone release. This is because
it isn't always possible to synchronize release dates between Emacs
and @value{tramp}. Such version numbers have the Emacs version number
-as suffix, like ``2.3.5.26.3''. This means @w{@value{tramp} 2.3.5} as
-integrated in @w{Emacs 26.3}. A complete list of @value{tramp}

+integrated in @w{Emacs 27.1}. A complete list of @value{tramp}
versions packaged with Emacs can be retrieved by
@vindex customize-package-emacs-version-alist
ELPA} package. Besides the standalone releases, further minor version
of @value{tramp} will appear on GNU ELPA, until the next @value{tramp}
release appears. These minor versions have a four-number string, like
-``2.4.2.1''.
+``2.4.3.1''.
@value{tramp} development versions are available on Git servers.
Development versions contain new and incomplete features. The
development version of @value{tramp} is always the version number of
-the next release, plus the suffix ``-pre'', like ``2.4.3-pre''.
+the next release, plus the suffix ``-pre'', like ``2.4.4-pre''.
One way to obtain @value{tramp} from Git server is to visit the
Savannah project page at the following URL and then clicking on the
@example
@group
echo $INSIDE_EMACS

+@vindex process-file-return-signal-string
+@code{process-file} shall return either the exit code of the process,
+or a string describing the signal, when the process has been
+interrupted. Since it cannot be determined reliably whether a remote
+process has been interrupted, @code{process-file} returns always the
+exit code. When the user option
+@code{process-file-return-signal-string} is non-nil,
+@code{process-file} regards all exit codes greater than 128 as an
+indication that the process has been interrupted, and returns a
+respective string.

Remote processes do not apply to @acronym{GVFS} (see @ref{GVFS-based
methods}) because the remote file system is mounted on the local host
and @value{tramp} just accesses by changing the
@value{tramp} starts a remote process when a command is executed in a
remote file or directory buffer. As of now, these packages have been
-integrated to work with @value{tramp}: @file{compile.el} (commands

+@code{grep}) and @file{gud.el} (@code{gdb} or @code{perldb}).
+
+@vindex INSIDE_EMACS@r{, environment variable}
+@value{tramp} always modifies the @env{INSIDE_EMACS} environment
+variable for remote processes. Per default, this environment variable
+shows the Emacs version. @value{tramp} adds its own version string,
+so it looks like @samp{27.1,tramp:2.4.3.1}. However, other packages
+might also add their name to this environment variable, like
+@samp{27.1,comint,tramp:2.4.3.1}.
For @value{tramp} to find the command on the remote, it must be
accessible through the default search path as setup by @value{tramp}
@vindex async-shell-command-width
@vindex COLUMNS@r{, environment variable}

-@w{Emacs 27.1}), @value{tramp} cares about its value for asynchronous
+@w{Emacs 27}), @value{tramp} cares about its value for asynchronous
shell commands. It specifies the number of display columns for
command output. For synchronous shell commands, a similar effect can
be achieved by adding the environment variable @env{COLUMNS} to
@vindex tramp-archive-all-gvfs-methods
An archive file name could be a remote file name, as in
-@file{/ftp:anonymous@@ftp.gnu.org:/gnu/tramp/tramp-2.3.2.tar.gz/INSTALL}.
+@file{/ftp:anonymous@@ftp.gnu.org:/gnu/tramp/tramp-2.4.3.tar.gz/INSTALL}.
Since all file operations are mapped internally to @acronym{GVFS}
operations, remote file names supported by @code{tramp-gvfs} perform
better, because no local copy of the file archive must be downloaded
If @code{url-handler-mode} is enabled, archives could be visited via
URLs, like
-@file{https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/tramp/tramp-2.3.2.tar.gz/INSTALL}. This
