fslock-arti-fork

NOTE: This is a fork of the fslock crate for use by Arti. We are forking temporarily because we need https://github.com/brunoczim/fslock/pull/15 in order to implement file deletion safely.

API to use files as a lock. Supports non-std crates by disabling feature std.

Types

Currently, only one type is provided: [LockFile]. It does not destroy the file after closed and behaviour on locking different file handles owned by the same process is different between Unix and Windows, unless you activate the multilock feature, which enables the open_excl method that locks files per file descriptor/handle on all platforms.

Example

use fslock::LockFile;
fn main() -> Result<(), fslock::Error> {

    let mut file = LockFile::open("mylock")?;
    file.lock()?;
    do_stuff();
    file.unlock()?;

    Ok(())
}
