Add support for db locking in zsh (via flock)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This commit ensures the database is locked before reading and updating
when used in zsh. We load the zsh/system module which provides the
zsystem flock command to perform advisory file locking.

A separate code path is needed when updating the database entry because
replacing the file (via mv) would cause any process waiting for a lock
to fail. Here we simply clobber the database with the contents of the
tempfile.
