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