Locking the acp_logﬁle File

To prevent two or more hosts processes from logging a record simultaneously, the Model 5390

erpcd code uses the lockf system call from the host to lock the acp_logﬁle. This locking action

prevents other processes from writing the ﬁle until the ﬁle update is complete.

There are two ways to use the lockf system call. You can select either mechanism via a switch in

the acp_policy.h ﬁle. The following explanation of the switch resides in this ﬁle. The default method,

T_LOCK, is reliable but not very efﬁcient; F_LOCK is more efﬁcient but does not work on all hosts

(some host manufacturers have issued patches to provide support for F_LOCK).
