Documentation

String mark to be transmitted around shell commands.

Used to separate their echo from the output they produce. This will only be used if we cannot disable remote echo via stty. This string must have no effect on the remote shell except for producing some echo which can later be detected by tramp-echoed-echo-mark-regexp. Using tramp-echo-mark-marker, followed by an equal number of backspaces to erase them will usually suffice.
