25 A few words on locking:
27 has several methods for creating locks
28 on files. When configuring
30 you will need to decide on the
31 locking style and locking directory (if any). The first controls the
32 method of locking, the second says where lock files should be created.
36 for kernel locking, use the \*(lq--with-locking=flock\*(rq configure option if
39 system call; use \*(lq--with-locking=lockf\*(rq if
42 system call; or use \*(lq--with-locking=fcntl\*(rq
43 if you want to use the
45 system call for kernel-level locking.
47 Instead of kernel locking, you can configure
49 to use dot locking by using \*(lq--with-locking=dot\*(rq. Dot locking
51 a file should be created whose existence means \*(lqlocked\*(rq and
52 whose non-existence means \*(lqunlocked\*(rq. The name of this file is
53 constructed by appending \*(lq.lock\*(rq to the name of the file being

57 in the directory where the file being locked resides. Otherwise, lock
