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