Documentation

Alist to decide a coding system to use for a network I/O operation.

The format is ((PATTERN . VAL) ...), where PATTERN is a regular expression matching a network service name or is a port number to connect to, VAL is a coding system, a cons of coding systems, or a function symbol. If VAL is a coding system, it is used for both decoding what received from the network stream and encoding what sent to the network stream. If VAL is a cons of coding systems, the car part is used for decoding, and the cdr part is used for encoding. If VAL is a function symbol, the function must return a coding system or a cons of coding systems which are used as above.

See also the function find-operation-coding-system.
