/* NAME
/*	dot_lockfile 3
/* SUMMARY
/*	dotlock file management
/* SYNOPSIS
/*	#include <dot_lockfile.h>
/*
/*	int	dot_lockfile(path, why)
/*	const char *path;
/*	VSTRING	*why;
/*
/*	void	dot_unlockfile(path)
/*	const char *path;
/* DESCRIPTION
/*	dot_lockfile() constructs a lock file name by appending ".lock" to
/*	\fIpath\fR and creates the named file exclusively. It tries several
/*	times and attempts to break stale locks. A negative result value
/*	means no lock file could be created.
/*
/*	dot_unlockfile() attempts to remove the lock file created by
/*	dot_lockfile(). The operation always succeeds, and therefore
/*	it preserves the errno value.
/*
/*	Arguments:
/* .IP path
/*	Name of the file to be locked or unlocked.
/* .IP why
/*	A null pointer, or storage for the reason why a lock file could
/*	not be created.
/* DIAGNOSTICS
/*	dot_lockfile() returns 0 upon success. In case of failure, the
/*	result is -1, and the errno variable is set appropriately:
/*	EEXIST when a "fresh" lock file already exists; other values as
/*	appropriate.
/* CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
/*	deliver_lock_attempts, how many times to try to create a lock
/*	deliver_lock_delay, how long to wait between attempts
/*	stale_lock_time, when to break a stale lock
/* LICENSE
/* .ad
/* .fi
/*	The Secure Mailer license must be distributed with this software.
