1 Note: This package is **deprecated**. It is highly preferred that instead of
2 using this code base that instead `fasteners`_ or `oslo.concurrency`_ is
3 used instead. For any questions or comments or further help needed
4 please email `openstack-dev`_ and prefix your email subject
5 with ``[oslo][pylockfile]`` (for a faster response).

7 The lockfile package exports a LockFile class which provides a simple API for
8 locking files. Unlike the Windows msvcrt.locking function, the fcntl.lockf
9 and flock functions, and the deprecated posixfile module, the API is
10 identical across both Unix (including Linux and Mac) and Windows platforms.
11 The lock mechanism relies on the atomic nature of the link (on Unix) and
12 mkdir (on Windows) system calls. An implementation based on SQLite is also
13 provided, more as a demonstration of the possibilities it provides than as
14 production-quality code.
15
16 Note: In version 0.9 the API changed in two significant ways:
17
18 * It changed from a module defining several classes to a package containing
19 several modules, each defining a single class.
20
21 * Where classes had been named SomethingFileLock before the last two words
22 have been reversed, so that class is now SomethingLockFile.
23
24 The previous module-level definitions of LinkFileLock, MkdirFileLock and
25 SQLiteFileLock will be retained until the 1.0 release.
