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