/* DESCRIPTION
/*	This module manages access to UNIX mailbox-style files.
/*
/*	mbox_open() acquires exclusive access to the named file.
/*	The \fBpath, flags, mode, st, user, group, why\fR arguments
/*	are passed to the \fBsafe_open\fR() routine. Attempts to change
/*	file ownership will succeed only if the process runs with
/*	adequate effective privileges.
/*	The \fBlock_style\fR argument specifies a lock style from
/*	mbox_lock_mask(). Locks are applied to regular files only.
/*	The result is a handle that must be destroyed by mbox_release().
/*	The \fBdef_dsn\fR argument is given to mbox_dsn().
/*
/*	mbox_release() releases the named mailbox. It is up to the
/*	application to close the stream.
/*
/*	mbox_dsn() translates an errno value to a mailbox related
/*	enhanced status code.
/* .IP "EAGAIN, ESTALE"
/*	These result in a 4.2.0 soft error (mailbox problem).
/* .IP ENOSPC
/*	This results in a 4.3.0 soft error (mail system full).
/* .IP "EDQUOT, EFBIG"
/*	These result in a 5.2.2 hard error (mailbox full).
/* .PP
/*	All other errors are assigned the specified default error
/*	code. Typically, one would specify 4.2.0 or 5.2.0.
/* DIAGNOSTICS
/*	mbox_open() returns a null pointer in case of problems, and
/*	sets errno to EAGAIN if someone else has exclusive access.
/*	Other errors are likely to have a more permanent nature.
/* LICENSE

     * If this is a regular file, create a dotlock file. This locking method
     * does not work well over NFS, but it is better than some alternatives.
     * With NFS, creating files atomically is a problem, and a successful
     * operation can fail with EEXIST.
     * 
     * If filename.lock can't be created for reasons other than "file exists",
     * issue only a warning if the application says it is non-fatal. This is
     * for bass-awkward compatibility with existing installations that
     * deliver to files in non-writable directories.
     * 
     * We dot-lock the file before opening, so we must avoid doing silly things
     * like dot-locking /dev/null. Fortunately, deliveries to non-mailbox
     * files execute with recipient privileges, so we don't have to worry
     * about creating dotlock files in places where the recipient would not
     * be able to write.
     * 
     * Note: we use stat() to follow symlinks, because safe_open() allows the
     * target to be a root-owned symlink, and we don't want to create dotlock
     * files for /dev/null or other non-file objects.
