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