47 /* The strategy: to lock a file FN, create a symlink .#FN in FN's
48 directory, with link data `user@host.pid'. This avoids a single
49 mount (== failure) point for lock files.
50
51 When the host in the lock data is the current host, we can check if
52 the pid is valid with kill.
53
54 Otherwise, we could look at a separate file that maps hostnames to
55 reboot times to see if the remote pid can possibly be valid, since we
56 don't want Emacs to have to communicate via pipes or sockets or
57 whatever to other processes, either locally or remotely; rms says
58 that's too unreliable. Hence the separate file, which could
59 theoretically be updated by daemons running separately -- but this
60 whole idea is unimplemented; in practice, at least in our
61 environment, it seems such stale locks arise fiarly infrequently, and
62 Emacs' standard methods of dealing with clashes suffice.
63
64 We use symlinks instead of normal files because (1) they can be
65 stored more efficiently on the filesystem, since the kernel knows
66 they will be small, and (2) all the info about the lock can be read
67 in a single system call (readlink). Although we could use regular
68 files to be useful on old systems lacking symlinks, noawdays
69 virtually all such systems are probably single-user anyway, so it
70 didn't seem worth the complication.
71
72 Similarly, we don't worry about a possible 14-character limit on
73 file names, because those are all the same systems that don't have
74 symlinks.
75
76 This is compatible with the locking scheme used by Interleaf (which
77 has contributed this implementation for Emacs), and was designed by
78 Ethan Jacobson, Kimbo Mundy, and others.
