| 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. | |
