portlock — lock
port for concurrent builds
portlock |
[-g group]
[-m mode]
lockname [comment ...] |
portlock creates a lock named
lockname using
open(2). If the lock is already
held, it will display one single wait message on stderr, sleep and retry
until satisfaction.
If necessary, creates the lock directory, using
-m mode as a mode argument or
the default if that option is not specified, and -g
group as the group owner if that option is
specified.
This implements a locking mechanism for ports building, see ‘LOCK INFRASTRUCTURE’ in ports(7) for details. See also dpb(1) for a complementary lock infrastructure when using dpb.
