+
+// These functions manage "multi-instance locks", which are a type of lock
+// specifically designed to allow instances of an application, process, or other
+// task to detect when other instances relevant to them are running. Each
+// instance opens a lock and holds it for the duration of the task of interest
+// (which may be the lifetime of the process, or a shorter period). Then while
+// the lock is open, it can be used to check whether any other instances of the
+// same task are currently running out of the same copy of the binary, in the
+// context of any OS user. A process can open any number of locks, so long as
+// they use different names. It is necessary for the process to have permission
+// to create files in /tmp/ on POSIX systems or ProgramData\[vendor]\ on
+// Windows, so this mechanism may not work for sandboxed processes.
+
+// The implementation is based on file locking. An empty file is created in a
+// systemwide (not per-user) location, and a shared (read) lock is taken on that
+// file; the value that OpenMultiInstanceLock() returns is the file
+// handle/descriptor. When you call IsOtherInstanceRunning(), it will attempt to
+// convert that shared lock into an exclusive (write) lock. If that operation
+// would succeed, it means that there must not be any other shared locks
+// currently taken on that file, so we know there are no other instances
+// running. This is a more complex design than most file locks or most other
+// concurrency mechanisms, but it is necessary for this use case because of the
+// requirement that an instance must be able to detect other instances that were
+// started later than it was. If, say, a mutex were used, or another kind of
+// exclusive lock, then the first instance that tried to take it would succeed,
+// and be unable to tell that another instance had tried to take it later and
+// failed. This mechanism allows any number of instances started at any time in
+// relation to one another to always be able to detect that the others exist
+// (although it does not allow you to know how many others exist). The lock is
+// guaranteed to be released if the process holding it crashes or is exec'd into
+// something else, because the file is closed when that happens. The file itself
+// is not necessarily always deleted on POSIX, because it isn't possible (within
+// reason) to guarantee that unlink() is called, but the file is empty and
+// created in the /tmp directory, so should not be a serious problem.
