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