Documentation

Alist of host-type-specific functions to process file names for compression.

Each element has the form (TYPE . FUNC). FUNC should take one argument, a file name, and return a list of the form (COMPRESSING NEWNAME). COMPRESSING should be t if the specified file should be compressed, and nil if it should be uncompressed (that is, if it is a compressed file). NEWNAME should be the name to give the new compressed or uncompressed file.

Source Code

;; Defined in /usr/src/emacs/lisp/net/ange-ftp.el.gz
;; Need the following functions for making filenames of compressed
;; files, because some OS's (unlike UNIX) do not allow a filename to
;; have two extensions.
