uu_lock uu_unlock uu_lockerr - acquire and release control of a serial device
Lb libutil
If the file does not already exist, or the owning process given by
the process id found in the lock file is no longer running,
uu_lock ();
will write its own process id into the file and return success.
uu_lock_txfr ();
transfers lock ownership to another process.
uu_lock ();
must have previously been successful.
uu_unlock ();
removes the lockfile created by
uu_lock ();
for the given
Fa ttyname .
Care should be taken that
uu_lock ();
was successful before calling
uu_unlock (.);
uu_lockerr ();
returns an error string representing the error
Fa uu_lockresult ,
as returned from
uu_lock (.);
uu_lock ();
may return any of the following values:
UU_LOCK_INUSE The lock is in use by another process.
UU_LOCK_OK The lock was successfully created.
UU_LOCK_OPEN_ERR The lock file could not be opened via open(2).
UU_LOCK_READ_ERR The lock file could not be read via read(2).
UU_LOCK_CREAT_ERR Cannot create temporary lock file via creat(2).
UU_LOCK_WRITE_ERR The current process id could not be written to the lock file via a call to write(2).
UU_LOCK_LINK_ERR Cannot link temporary lock file via link(2).
UU_LOCK_TRY_ERR Locking attempts are failed after 5 tries.
If a value of
UU_LOCK_OK
is passed to
uu_lockerr (,);
an empty string is returned.
Otherwise, a string specifying
the reason for failure is returned.
uu_lockerr ();
uses the current value of
errno
to determine the exact error.
Care should be made not to allow
errno
to be changed between calls to
uu_lock ();
and
uu_lockerr (.);
uu_lock_txfr ();
may return any of the following values:
UU_LOCK_OK The transfer was successful. The specified process now holds the device lock.
UU_LOCK_OWNER_ERR The current process does not already own a lock on the specified device.
UU_LOCK_WRITE_ERR The new process id could not be written to the lock file via a call to write(2).
uu_unlock ();
will set the global variable
errno
to reflect the reason that the lock file could not be removed.
Refer to the description of
unlink(2)
for further details.
The calling process must have write permissions to the /var/spool/lock directory. There is no mechanism in place to ensure that the permissions of this directory are the same as those of the serial devices that might be locked.
