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