;;; Commentary:

;; The "sudoedit" Tramp method allows to edit a file as a different
;; user on the local host.  Contrary to the "sudo" method, all magic
;; file name functions are implemented by single "sudo ..."  commands.
;; The purpose is to make editing such a file as secure as possible;
;; there must be no session running in the Emacs background which
;; could be attacked from inside Emacs.

;; Consequently, external processes are not implemented.
