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.
