Documentation

Value for process-connection-type to use for Kerberos4, GSSAPI, shell and SSL.

The process-connection-type variable controls the type of device used to communicate with subprocesses. Values are nil to use a pipe, or t or pty to use a pty. The value has no effect if the system has no ptys or if all ptys are busy: then a pipe is used in any case. The value takes effect when an IMAP server is opened; changing it after that has no effect.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 22.1.
