file-local-name is a byte-compiled function defined in files.el.gz.

Signature

(file-local-name FILE)

Documentation

Return the local name component of FILE.

This function removes from FILE the specification of the remote host and the method of accessing the host, leaving only the part that identifies FILE locally on the remote system. The returned file name can be used directly as argument of process-file, start-file-process, or shell-command.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 26.1.
