53 has several methods for creating locks
54 on files. When configuring
56 you will need to decide on the
57 locking style and locking directory (if any). The first controls the
58 method of locking, the second says where lock files should be created.
62 for kernel locking, use the \*(lq--with-locking=flock\*(rq configure option if
65 system call; use \*(lq--with-locking=lockf\*(rq if
68 system call; or use \*(lq--with-locking=fcntl\*(rq
69 if you want to use the
71 system call for kernel-level locking.
73 Instead of kernel locking, you can configure
75 to use dot locking by using \*(lq--with-locking=dot\*(rq. Dot locking
77 a file should be created whose existence means \*(lqlocked\*(rq and
78 whose non-existence means \*(lqunlocked\*(rq. The name of this file is
79 constructed by appending \*(lq.lock\*(rq to the name of the file being
