65  * Simple file locking.
66  * Create a symlink to a file.  The "test and set" will be
67  * atomic as creating the symlink provides both functions.
68  *
69  * The timeout value specifies how long to wait for stale locks
70  * to disappear.  If the lock is more than 'timeout' seconds old
71  * then it is ok to blow it away.  This part has a small window
72  * of vunerability as the operations of testing the time,
73  * removing the lock and creating a new one are not atomic.
74  * It would be possible for two processes to both decide to blow
75  * away the lock and then have process A remove the lock and establish
76  * its own, and then then have process B remove the lock which accidentily
77  * removes A's lock rather than the stale one.
78  *
79  * A further complication is with the NFS.  If the file in question is
80  * being served by an NFS server, then its time is set by that server.
81  * We can not use the time on the client machine to check for a stale
82  * lock.  Therefore, a temp file on the server is created to get
83  * the servers current time.
84  *
85  * Returns an error message.  NULL return means the lock was obtained.
