@defvar auto-save-file-name-transforms
This variable lists transforms to apply to buffer file name before
making auto-save file name.
This variable lists transforms to apply to buffer's file name before
making the auto-save file name.
Each transform is a list of the form @code{(@var{regexp}
@var{replacement} [@var{uniquify}])}: @var{regexp} is a regular
expression to match against the file name. If it matches,
Each transform is a list of the form @w{@code{(@var{regexp}
@var{replacement} [@var{uniquify}])}}. @var{regexp} is a regular
expression to match against the file name; if it matches,
@code{replace-match} is used to replace the matching part with
@var{replacement}. If the optional element @var{uniquify} is non-nil,
the auto-save file name is constructed by taking the directory part of
the replaced file-name, concatenated with the buffer file name with
all directory separators changed to @samp{!} to prevent clashes. This
will not work correctly if your filesystem truncates the resulting
name.

part of the transformed file name with the buffer's file name in which

All the transforms in the list are tried, in the order they are listed.
When one transform applies, its result is final;
no further transforms are tried.
The default value is set up to put the auto-save file into the
temporary directory (@pxref{Unique File Names}) for editing a
remote file.

On MS-DOS filesystems without long names this variable is always
ignored.
