shlock.c   [plain text]

/*	$NetBSD: shlock.c,v 1.3 1998/01/09 08:06:11 perry Exp $	*/

/*
** Program to produce reliable locks for shell scripts.
** Algorithm suggested by Peter Honeyman, January 1984,
** in connection with HoneyDanBer UUCP.
**
** I tried extending this to handle shared locks in November 1987,
** and ran into to some fundamental problems:
**
**	Neither 4.3 BSD nor System V have an open(2) with locking,
**	so that you can open a file and have it locked as soon as
**	it's real; you have to make two system calls, and there's
**	a race...
**
**	When removing dead process id's from a list in a file,
**	you need to truncate the file (you don't want to create a
**	new one; see above); unfortunately for the portability of
**	this program, only 4.3 BSD has ftruncate(2).
**
** Erik E. Fair <fair@ucbarpa.berkeley.edu>, November 8, 1987
**
** Extensions for UUCP style locks (i.e. pid is an int in the file,
** rather than an ASCII string). Also fix long standing bug with
** full file systems and temporary files.
**
** Erik E. Fair <fair@apple.com>, November 12, 1989
**
** ANSIfy the code somewhat to make gcc -Wall happy with the code.
** Submit to NetBSD
