11# Allow a single instance of an application to run.
12#
13# This module implements the logic needed to detect that an instance of the
14# application is already running, and if so, notifying that instance.
15#
16# On Windows, a mutex is used to ensure that only a single instance is running,
17# since a mutex with a certain name can be created by one process only. If the
18# current process is the only instance, a named pipe is created and a thread is
19# started to listen for messages. Otherwise a message is sent to that pipe,
20# which results in calling a callback function.
21#
22# On Linux a Unix socket is created protected by a lock file, and the messages
23# from other instances are received via this socket.
24#
25# The main window is raised if another instance is started.
