@cindex locking files
When you make the first modification in an Emacs buffer that is
visiting a file, Emacs records that the file is @dfn{locked} by you.
(It does this by creating a specially-named symbolic link or regular
file with special contents in the same directory.) Emacs removes the
lock when you save the changes. The idea is that the file is locked
(It does this by creating a specially-named symbolic link@footnote{If
your file system does not support symbolic links, a regular file is
used.} with special contents in the same directory.) Emacs removes the lock
when you save the changes. The idea is that the file is locked
whenever an Emacs buffer visiting it has unsaved changes.

** The lock for 'DIR/FILE' is now 'DIR/.#FILE' and may be a regular file.
When you edit DIR/FILE, Emacs normally creates a symbolic link
DIR/.#FILE as a lock that warns other instances of Emacs that DIR/FILE
is being edited. Formerly, if there was already a non-symlink file
named DIR/.#FILE, Emacs fell back on the lock names DIR/.#FILE.0
through DIR/.#FILE.9. These fallbacks have been removed, so that
Emacs now no longer locks DIR/FILE in that case.
On file systems that do not support symbolic links, the lock is now a
regular file with contents being what would have been in the symlink.

** Minor internal changes to the details of lock files.
The lock for DIR/FILE is now _always_ DIR/.#FILE.
If DIR/.#FILE already exists and is not an Emacs lock file,
Emacs makes no attempt to lock DIR/FILE. (Previously, it fell back to
numbered lock files DIR/.#FILE.0...).
