80 /* The strategy: to lock a file FN, create a symlink .#FN in FN's
81 directory, with link data `user@host.pid'. This avoids a single
82 mount (== failure) point for lock files.
84 When the host in the lock data is the current host, we can check if
85 the pid is valid with kill.
87 Otherwise, we could look at a separate file that maps hostnames to
88 reboot times to see if the remote pid can possibly be valid, since we
89 don't want Emacs to have to communicate via pipes or sockets or
90 whatever to other processes, either locally or remotely; rms says
91 that's too unreliable. Hence the separate file, which could
92 theoretically be updated by daemons running separately -- but this
93 whole idea is unimplemented; in practice, at least in our
94 environment, it seems such stale locks arise fairly infrequently, and
95 Emacs' standard methods of dealing with clashes suffice.
97 We use symlinks instead of normal files because (1) they can be
98 stored more efficiently on the filesystem, since the kernel knows
99 they will be small, and (2) all the info about the lock can be read
100 in a single system call (readlink). Although we could use regular
101 files to be useful on old systems lacking symlinks, nowadays
102 virtually all such systems are probably single-user anyway, so it
103 didn't seem worth the complication.
105 Similarly, we don't worry about a possible 14-character limit on
106 file names, because those are all the same systems that don't have
107 symlinks.
109 This is compatible with the locking scheme used by Interleaf (which
110 has contributed this implementation for Emacs), and was designed by
111 Ethan Jacobson, Kimbo Mundy, and others.
