Multiprocess is spelled without a space, but you can use a hyphen if you like,
which would better match multi_process_lock and MultiProcessLock. Same on line
23.

Done.

You should have a COMPILE_ASSERT to guarantee this in _linux.cc.

In the COMPILE_ASSERT, you should probably use sizeof(sun_path) instead of
UNIX_PATH_MAX as the latter is nonstandard.

And spaces go around operators like - even when they’re in comments. :)

Done.

You need to #include <sys/types.h> before you can use size_t.

Didn't seem to be needed on any platform, but added it anyways.
