1311    This regular expression is used by @tramp{} in the same way as
1312    @code{shell-prompt-pattern}, to match prompts from the remote shell.
1313    This second variable exists because the prompt from the remote shell
1314    might be different from the prompt from a local shell --- after all,
1315    the whole point of @tramp{} is to log in to remote hosts as a
1316    different user.  The default value of
1317    @code{tramp-shell-prompt-pattern} is the same as the default value of
1318    @code{shell-prompt-pattern}, which is reported to work well in many
1319    circumstances.
