agc 9182eb7285 Initial import of Erik E. Fair's shlock utility, with sources taken from
NetBSD-current, into the NetBSD Packages Collection.

The shlock command can create or verify a lock file on behalf of a
shell or other script program.  When it attempts to create a lock
file, if one already exists, shlock verifies that it is or is not
valid.  If valid, shlock will exit with a non-zero exit code.  If
invalid, shlock will re- move the lock file, and create a new one.

shlock uses the rename(2) system call to make the final target lock
file, which is an atomic operation (i.e.  "dot locking", so named for
this mech- anism's original use for locking system mailboxes).  It
puts the process ID ("PID") from the command line into the requested
lock file.

shlock verifies that an extant lock file is still valid by using
kill(2) with a zero signal to check for the existence of the process
that holds the lock.

This package is only for Solaris and Linux platforms at present.

/*
** 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
**
** Erik E. Fair <fair@clock.org>, May 20, 1997
