1;;; +finger.el --- Finger bugfix -*- lexical-binding: t; -*-

3;;; Commentary:
4
5;; `net-utils' defines `finger', which purportedly consults
6;; `finger-X.500-host-regexps' to determine what hosts to only send a username
7;; to. I've found that that is not the case, and so I've patched it. At some
8;; point I'll submit this to Emacs itself.

10;;; Code:
11
12(require 'net-utils) ; this requires everything else I'll need.
13(require 'seq)
14
15(defun finger (user host)
16 "Finger USER on HOST.
17This command uses `finger-X.500-host-regexps'
18and `network-connection-service-alist', which see."
19 ;; One of those great interactive statements that's actually
20 ;; longer than the function call! The idea is that if the user
21 ;; uses a string like "pbreton@cs.umb.edu", we won't ask for the
22 ;; host name. If we don't see an "@", we'll prompt for the host.
