11: .SH DESCRIPTION
12: The file @(MHETCPATH)/mtstailor defines run\-time options for those \fIMH\fR
13: programs which interact (in some form) with the message transport system.

296: A few words on locking:
297: \fIMH\fR has a flexible locking system for making locks on files.
298: There are two \fBmtstailor\fR variables you should be aware of
299: \*(lqlockstyle\*(rq and \*(lqlockldir\*(rq.
300: The first controls the method of locking,
301: the second says where lock files should be created.
302: The \*(lqlockstyle\*(rq variable can take on three values: 0, 1, 2.
303: A value of 0 says to use the flock syscall if you're running on 4.2BSD,
304: (otherwise use a locking style of 1).
305: A value of 1 or 2 specifies that a file should be created whose existance
306: means \*(lqlocked\*(rq and whose non\-existence means \*(lqunlocked\*(rq.
307: A value of 1 says to construct the lockname by appending \*(lq.lock\*(rq to
308: the name of the file being locked.
309: A value of 2 says to construct the lockname by looking at the device and
310: inode numbers of the file being locked.
311: If the \*(lqlockldir\*(rq variable is not specified,
312: lock files will be created in the directory where the file being locked
313: resides.
314: Otherwise, lock files will be created in the directory specified by
315: \*(lqlockldir\*(rq.
316: Prior to installing \fIMH\fR,
317: you should see how locking is done at your site,
318: and set the appropriate values.
