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