The s6lockd program

- -

-s6lockd is the s6lock daemon. It is a program that manages -a set of lock files in a given directory, and associated timeouts. -

- -

Interface

- -

- s6lockd does not fork, does not background itself automatically, -and does not use syslog. It is not meant to be run directly by the -user: it will be spawned by the -s6lock client library. -

- -

- There are 2 ways to use s6lockd: -

- -
    -
  1. Use the s6lock_startf() library call. -An s6lockd child will then be spawned from your -calling process, and automatically reaped when you call -s6lock_end(). It requires care with applications that -trap SIGCHLD. It also requires care with lock file permissions: -an s6lockd instance might not be able -to open a lock file created by a former instance run by another -client with different permissions.
    2. -
  2. Use the s6lock_start() library call, together with a -s6lockd service. -For once, this is the recommended setup: s6lockd creates empty -lock files, and having all s6lockd instances run under the same user -simplifies permissions management considerably.
    3. -
- -

-When run as a service, s6lockd has no "standalone" mode: it is -designed to work with a Unix -domain super-server, like -s6-ipcserver. -s6lockd follows the UCSPI -interface, it can be directly executed from the super-server. -
