I want to write a process filter for GNU emacs and can not seem to
find all the hooks I am looking for. Basically, I would like to take
the string passed to the filter function and look at it character by
character. With each character, I would want to either insert it into
the process's buffer or execute some function. Actually I would
prefer to add the characters to the buffer in "overwrite-mode".
I am assuming that the most effecient way to go about doing this is to
tie into emac's key-map facilities. I have looked in the help
facility and can not find what I need. I can obviously do it by
indexing into the string and getting each character. Using the
character to index into another vector of functions (like a keymap)
and execute the function. That might not be too bad but thought I'd
ask if that was a better method.
