Implementation of a caching mechanism for compressed data.
This cache uses simple advisory locking found on most modern unix file systems. Compressed files are decompressed and stored in a cache where they can be used over and over until removed from the cache. Several processes can share the cache with each reading from files. At the same time, new files can be added and the cache can be purged, without disrupting the existing read operations.
How it works. When a file is added to the cache, the cache is locked - no other processes can add, read or remove files. Once a file has been added, the cache size is examined and, if needed, the cache is purged so that its size is 80% of the maximum size. Then the cache is unlocked. When a process looks to see if a file is already in the cache, the entire cache is locked. If the file is present, a shared read lock is obtained and the cache is unlocked.
Methods: create_and_lock() and get_read_lock() open and lock files; the former creates the file and locks it exclusively iff it does not exist, while the latter obtains a shared lock iff the file already exists. The unlock() methods unlock a file. The lock_cache_info() and unlock_cache_info() are used to control access to the whole cache - with the open + lock and close + unlock operations performed atomically. Other methods that operate on the cache info file must only be called when the lock has been obtained.

Create a file in the cache and lock it for write access.
If the file does not exist, make it, open it for read-write access and get an exclusive lock on it. The locking operation blocks, although that should never happen.

Transfer from an exclusive lock to a shared lock.
If the file has an exclusive write lock on it, change that to a shared read lock. This is an atomic operation. If the call to fcntl(2) is protected by locking the cache, a dead lock will result given typical use of this class. This method exists to help with the situation where one process has the cache locked and is blocking on a shared read lock for a file that a second process has locked exclusively (for writing). By changing the exclusive lock to a shared lock, the first process can get its shared lock and then release the cache.
fd | The file descriptor that is exclusively locked and which, on exit, will have a shared lock. |

Get an instance of the BESCache3 object.
This class is a singleton, so the first call to any of three 'get_instance()' methods makes an instance and subsequent call return a pointer to that instance.
keys | The BESKeys object (hold various configuration parameters) |
cache_dir_key | Key to use to get the value of the cache directory |
prefix_key | Key for the item/file prefix. Each file added to the cache uses this as a prefix so cached items can be easily identified when /tmp is used for the cache. |
size_key | How big should the cache be, in megabytes |

Get a read-only lock on the file if it exists.
Try to get a read-only lock on the file, blocking until we can get it. If the file does not exist, return false.
src | src file that will be cached eventually |
target | a value-result parameter set to the resulting cached file |
Error | if the attempt to get the (shared) lock failed for any reason other than that the file does/did not exist. |

Get an exclusive lock on the 'cache info' file.
The 'cache info' file is used to control certain cache actions, ensuring that they are atomic. These include making sure that the create_and_lock() and read_and_lock() operations are atomic as well as the purge and related operations.

Purge files from the cache.
Purge files, oldest to newest, if the current size of the cache exceeds the size of the cache specified in the constructor. This method uses an exclusive lock on the cache for the duration of the purge process.
new_file | The name of a file this process just added to the cache. Using fcntl(2) locking there is no way this process can detect its own lock, so the shared read lock on the new file won't keep this process from deleting it (but will keep other processes from deleting it). |
