file-locker

File locking via POSIX advisory record locks (fork of file-lock)

This functionality has now been added to the Rust standard library with File::lock and associated methods. As such this create will not see future updates and should only be used for backwards compatibility with older versions of Rust.

This crate provides the facility to lock and unlock a file following the advisory record lock scheme as specified by UNIX IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (POSIX.1) via fcntl().

This crate currently supports Linux and FreeBSD.

USAGE

use file_lock::FileLock;
use std::io::prelude::*;
use std::io::Result;

fn main() -> Result<()> {
    let filelock = FileLock::new("myfile.txt")
                    .writeable(true)
                    .blocking(true)
                    .lock()?;

    filelock.file.write_all(b"Hello, World!")?;

    // Manually unlocking is optional as we unlock on Drop
    filelock.unlock();
}
