annotate src/filelock.c @ 20072:92d2c2e3b3f3

Some changes in comments and documentation. View mode hooked into the customize tree. (view): New custom group. (view-highlight-face, view-scroll-auto-exit) (view-try-extend-at-buffer-end) (view-remove-frame-by-deleting, view-mode-hook): Defined by defcustom instead of by defvar. (view-mode-enter): Install exit-action also when view-mode is already on. Small rewrite using unless. (view-mode, view-mode-exit, view-scroll-lines, view-really-at-end) (view-search): Small rewrite using when or unless.

/* The strategy: to lock a file FN, create a symlink .#FN in FN's
   directory, with link data `[e-mail]'.  This avoids a single
   mount (== failure) point for lock files.

   When the host in the lock data is the current host, we can check if
   the pid is valid with kill.
   
   Otherwise, we could look at a separate file that maps hostnames to
   reboot times to see if the remote pid can possibly be valid, since we
   don't want Emacs to have to communicate via pipes or sockets or
   whatever to other processes, either locally or remotely; rms says
   that's too unreliable.  Hence the separate file, which could
   theoretically be updated by daemons running separately -- but this
   whole idea is unimplemented; in practice, at least in our
   environment, it seems such stale locks arise fairly infrequently, and
   Emacs' standard methods of dealing with clashes suffice.

   We use symlinks instead of normal files because (1) they can be
   stored more efficiently on the filesystem, since the kernel knows
   they will be small, and (2) all the info about the lock can be read
   in a single system call (readlink).  Although we could use regular
   files to be useful on old systems lacking symlinks, nowadays
   virtually all such systems are probably single-user anyway, so it
   didn't seem worth the complication.
   
   Similarly, we don't worry about a possible 14-character limit on
   file names, because those are all the same systems that don't have
   symlinks.
   
   This is compatible with the locking scheme used by Interleaf (which
   has contributed this implementation for Emacs), and was designed by
   Ethan Jacobson, Kimbo Mundy, and others.
