address@hidden start-file-process name buffer-or-name program &rest args
+Like @code{start-process}, this function starts a new asynchronous
+subprocess running @var{program} in it.  The corresponding process
+object is returned.
+
+If @code{default-directory} corresponds to a file handler, that
+handler is invoked.  @var{program} runs then on a remote host which is
+identified by @code{default-directory}.  The local part of
address@hidden is the working directory of the subprocess.
+
address@hidden and @var{program-args} might be file names.  They are not
+objects of file handler invocation.
+
+Some file handlers may not support @code{start-file-process} (for
+example @code{ange-ftp-hook-function}).  It returns then @code{nil}.
