# The rename_backup function performs the final stage of numbered backup
# creation: atomical rename of the temporary backup file to the actual
# backup name.
# The calling sequence is:
#    rename_backup($tempfile, $backup_stub, $num, $error)
# where $tempfile    is the name of the temporary file holding the backup,
#       $backup_stub is the name of the backup file without the actual
#                    numbered suffix (may contain directory components,
#                    if required).
#       $num         is the first unused backup number,
#       $error       is the reference to error message storage or undef.
# The function creates the new backup file name from $backup_stub and
# $num and attempts to rename $tempfile to it.  If the rename failed
# because such file already exists (i.e. another process created it in
# between), the function increases the $num and retries.  The process
# continues until the rename succeeds or a fatal error is encountered,
# whichever occurs first.
#
# Three versions of the function are provided.  The right one to use
# is selected when the module is loaded:

# symlinked to the desired backup name.  This will fail if the

# backup number.  Once the symlink is created, temporary file
# is renamed to it.  This operation will silently destroy the

# rename_backup_last_resort - a weaker version for the rest of systems
