Lock file is a traditional means of synchronization among processes. In this
|
|
module it is implemented as an empty regular file exclusively locked using
|
|
fcntl.lockf. When it is to be released it is removed by default. However, if
|
|
all cooperating processes turn off the removal, they get a guaranteed order of
|
|
acquisitions and better scalability.
