This is a Ruby module which provides file locking mechanism.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The module FileLock implements two classes: LockFile and LockedFile;
|
|
|
|
|
the class LockFile deals with so-called lockfiles, and the class
|
|
|
|
|
LockedFile offer a high-level interface to deal with both regular
|
|
|
|
|
files and lockfiles at the same time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To be portable, a small C extension is used to minimize the time
|
|
|
|
|
between existence check of a lockfile and its creation.
