I'm a little confused about the necessity of a lock file here. What it
the race that you are worried about? If two processes try to create a
file at the same time, surely one of them will succeed. If two processes
try to delete a file at the same time, it will get deleted. If one
process is trying to create a file and one is trying to remove it, the
outcome depends on the who wins the race. But this is true whether you
add a lock file to make those actions atomic or not. The same goes with
stating a file that's being created or removed. As far a I can tell,
this should work if you simply create an empty file without any locking.
Are you worried about some odd errno due to a race?
The enums do make things less confusing, though.
