Variable: tramp-file-name-regexp

Regular expression matching file names handled by Tramp.
This regexp should match Tramp file names but no other file names.
When tramp.el is loaded, this regular expression is prepended to
`file-name-handler-alist', and that is searched sequentially. Thus,
if the Tramp entry appears rather early in the `file-name-handler-alist'
and is a bit too general, then some files might be considered Tramp
files which are not really Tramp files.

Please note that the entry in `file-name-handler-alist' is made when
this file (tramp.el) is loaded. This means that this variable must be set
before loading tramp.el. Alternatively, `file-name-handler-alist' can be
updated after changing this variable. Also see `tramp-file-name-structure'.
