This library implements a number of functions found in -lmail on SysV
|
|
systems. These functions are designed to lock the standard mailboxes in
|
|
/var/mail (or wherever the system puts them).
|
|
|
|
In additions, this library adds a number of functions to create,
|
|
manage and remove generic lockfiles.
|
|
|
|
The lockfiles are created by this library in an NFS-safe manner, that
|
|
is by using a tempfile and using link(2) to create the lockfile. It
|
|
works around several defects in NFS servers to make sure the lockfile
|
|
is created atomically.
|
|
|
|
The locking strategy is compatible with other well-written NFS-safe
|
|
programs that create lockfiles - such as procmail, exim and mutt.
|
|
|
|
If you are trying to lock a mailbox in a directory writable for group
|
|
mail, the locking functions will call a helper application which runs
|
|
setgid to do the actual locking. The helper application "dotlockfile"
|
|
can also be used directly, for example for use in shellscripts.
|
|
|
|
This means a program such as a MUA doesn't need to be setgid mail anymore
|
|
to be able to lock the mailbox.
