shared-locker-count

Arguments: sharable-lock &optional clean-p

Return the number of shared users locking a sharable-lock at some instant.

The clean-p has effect only to sharable-lock instances created with the auto-unlock-p to make-sharable-lock specified true (the default value is nil). In that case, when the clean-p argument is non-nil, the current owners of the lock are scanned to remove any dead processes associated with the lock. The returned count is the number of live processes associated with the lock.

Note that this value may be obsolete and incorrect as soon as it is returned.
