   5 * File write-locks as used by Git.
   6 *
   7 * The lockfile API serves two purposes:
   8 *
   9 * * Mutual exclusion and atomic file updates. When we want to change
  10 *   a file, we create a lockfile `<filename>.lock`, write the new
  11 *   file contents into it, and then rename the lockfile to its final
  12 *   destination `<filename>`. We create the `<filename>.lock` file
  13 *   with `O_CREAT|O_EXCL` so that we can notice and fail if somebody
  14 *   else has already locked the file, then atomically rename the
  15 *   lockfile to its final destination to commit the changes and
  16 *   unlock the file.
  17 *
  18 * * Automatic cruft removal. If the program exits after we lock a
  19 *   file but before the changes have been committed, we want to make
  20 *   sure that we remove the lockfile. This is done by remembering the
  21 *   lockfiles we have created in a linked list and setting up an
  22 *   `atexit(3)` handler and a signal handler that clean up the
  23 *   lockfiles. This mechanism ensures that outstanding lockfiles are
  24 *   cleaned up if the program exits (including when `die()` is
  25 *   called) or if the program is terminated by a signal.
  26 *
  27 * Please note that lockfiles only block other writers. Readers do not
  28 * block, but they are guaranteed to see either the old contents of
  29 * the file or the new contents of the file (assuming that the
  30 * filesystem implements `rename(2)` atomically).
  31 *
  32 * Most of the heavy lifting is done by the tempfile module (see
  33 * "tempfile.h").
  34 *
  35 * Calling sequence
  36 * ----------------
  37 *
  38 * The caller:
  39 *
  40 * * Allocates a `struct lock_file` either as a static variable or on
  41 *   the heap, initialized to zeros. Once you use the structure to
  42 *   call the `hold_lock_file_for_*()` family of functions, it belongs
  43 *   to the lockfile subsystem and its storage must remain valid
  44 *   throughout the life of the program (i.e. you cannot use an
  45 *   on-stack variable to hold this structure).
  46 *
  47 * * Attempts to create a lockfile by calling `hold_lock_file_for_update()`.
  48 *
  49 * * Writes new content for the destination file by either:
  50 *
  51 *   * writing to the file descriptor returned by the
  52 *     `hold_lock_file_for_*()` functions (also available via
  53 *     `lock->fd`).
  54 *
  55 *   * calling `fdopen_lock_file()` to get a `FILE` pointer for the
  56 *     open file and writing to the file using stdio.
  57 *
  58 * When finished writing, the caller can:
  59 *
  60 * * Close the file descriptor and rename the lockfile to its final
  61 *   destination by calling `commit_lock_file()` or
  62 *   `commit_lock_file_to()`.
  63 *
  64 * * Close the file descriptor and remove the lockfile by calling
  65 *   `rollback_lock_file()`.
  66 *
  67 * * Close the file descriptor without removing or renaming the
  68 *   lockfile by calling `close_lock_file()`, and later call
  69 *   `commit_lock_file()`, `commit_lock_file_to()`,
  70 *   `rollback_lock_file()`, or `reopen_lock_file()`.
  71 *
  72 * Even after the lockfile is committed or rolled back, the
  73 * `lock_file` object must not be freed or altered by the caller.
  74 * However, it may be reused; just pass it to another call of
  75 * `hold_lock_file_for_update()`.
  76 *
  77 * If the program exits before `commit_lock_file()`,
  78 * `commit_lock_file_to()`, or `rollback_lock_file()` is called, the
  79 * tempfile module will close and remove the lockfile, thereby rolling
  80 * back any uncommitted changes.
  81 *
  82 * If you need to close the file descriptor you obtained from a
  83 * `hold_lock_file_for_*()` function yourself, do so by calling
  84 * `close_lock_file()`. See "tempfile.h" for more information.
  85 *
  86 *
  87 * Under the covers, a lockfile is just a tempfile with a few helper
  88 * functions. In particular, the state diagram and the cleanup
  89 * machinery are all implemented in the tempfile module.
  90 *
  91 *
  92 * Error handling
  93 * --------------
  94 *
  95 * The `hold_lock_file_for_*()` functions return a file descriptor on
  96 * success or -1 on failure (unless `LOCK_DIE_ON_ERROR` is used; see
  97 * "flags" below). On errors, `errno` describes the reason for
  98 * failure. Errors can be reported by passing `errno` to
  99 * `unable_to_lock_message()` or `unable_to_lock_die()`.
 100 *
 101 * Similarly, `commit_lock_file`, `commit_lock_file_to`, and
 102 * `close_lock_file` return 0 on success. On failure they set `errno`
 103 * appropriately, do their best to roll back the lockfile, and return
 104 * -1.
