The first argument given to @var{handler} is the name of the primitive;
|
||||
the remaining arguments are the arguments that were passed to that
|

operation. (The first of these arguments is typically the file name
|

primitive. (The first of these arguments is most often the file name

When a function takes two or more arguments that must be file names,
|
||||
it checks each of those names for a handler. For example, if you do
|
||||
this:
|
||||
|
||||
@example
|
||||
(expand-file-name @var{filename} @var{dirname})
|
||||
@end example
|
||||
|
||||
@noindent
|
||||
then it checks for a handler for @var{filename} and then for a handler
|
||||
for @var{dirname}. In either case, the @var{handler} is called like
|
||||
this:
|
||||
|
||||
@example
|
||||
(funcall @var{handler} 'expand-file-name @var{filename} @var{dirname})
|
||||
@end example
|
||||
|
||||
@noindent
|
||||
The @var{handler} then needs to figure out whether to handle
|
||||
@var{filename} or @var{dirname}.

Here are the operations that a magic file name handler gets to handle:
