The lockfile package exports a LockFile class which provides a
|
simple API for locking files. Unlike the Windows
|
msvcrt.locking function, the fcntl.lockf and flock functions,
|
and the deprecated posixfile module, the API is identical
|
across both Unix (including Linux and Mac) and Windows
|
platforms.
|
|
The lock mechanism relies on the atomic nature of the link
|
(on Unix) and mkdir (on Windows) system calls. An
|
implementation based on SQLite is also provided, more as a
|
demonstration of the possibilities it provides than as
|
production-quality code.
