The lockfile module exports a FileLock class which provides a simple
|
|
API for locking files. Unlike the Windows msvcrt.locking function, the
|
|
Unix fcntl.flock, fcntl.lockf 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.
