4 /* NAME
5 /*	dot_lockfile 3
6 /* SUMMARY
7 /*	dotlock file management
8 /* SYNOPSIS
9 /*	#include <dot_lockfile.h>
10 /*
11 /*	int	dot_lockfile(path, why)
12 /*	const char *path;
13 /*	VSTRING	*why;
14 /*
15 /*	void	dot_unlockfile(path)
16 /*	const char *path;
17 /* DESCRIPTION
18 /*	dot_lockfile() constructs a lock file name by appending ".lock" to
19 /*	\fIpath\fR and creates the named file exclusively. It tries several
20 /*	times and attempts to break stale locks. A negative result value
21 /*	means no lock file could be created.
22 /*
23 /*	dot_unlockfile() attempts to remove the lock file created by
24 /*	dot_lockfile(). The operation always succeeds, and therefore
25 /*	it preserves the errno value.
26 /*
27 /*	Arguments:
28 /* .IP path
29 /*	Name of the file to be locked or unlocked.
30 /* .IP why
31 /*	A null pointer, or storage for the reason why a lock file could
32 /*	not be created.
33 /* DIAGNOSTICS
34 /*	dot_lockfile() returns 0 upon success. In case of failure, the
35 /*	result is -1, and the errno variable is set appropriately:
36 /*	EEXIST when a "fresh" lock file already exists; other values as
37 /*	appropriate.
38 /* CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
39 /*	deliver_lock_attempts, how many times to try to create a lock
40 /*	deliver_lock_delay, how long to wait between attempts
41 /*	stale_lock_time, when to break a stale lock
42 /* LICENSE
