Hi

I noticed a line in my dired that looks like this
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 fred fred      42 Oct 24 01:05 .#myfile.cpp -> fred@localhost.localdomain.3415:1161501575

what does it mean to have a symlink to
"fred@localhost.localdomain.3415:1161501575"?

the shell output in xterm does not show it at all.


thanks

You're editing a file, and this file is changed right now.

In fact you're editing it on a machine called "localhost.localdomain",
with process ID 3415, the editing started 1161501575 seconds since the Epoch,
(Sun Oct 22 08:19:35 BST 2006), and your user name is "fred".

Or, if the file is on a shared directory, "fred" is.

Yup.  Read all about that in the Emacs manual, in the node
"Interlocking", and in the ELisp manual, node "File Locks".
