When I wrote Tramp, I just looked at the magic filenames node in the
elisp reference and at the documentation of each function referenced
there.  From time to time, I also looked at Ange-FTP to see how it
does things.  (That's how I discovered that (0 0) appears to be the
way to express a don't-know value for the mtime, ctime and atime
values returned from file-attributes.)

It seems intimidating at first, but turns out to be not that
difficult.
