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