Thread-safe file locking library in Go
flock implements a thread-safe file lock.
It also includes a non-blocking TryLock() function to allow locking without blocking execution.
go get -u github.com/gofrs/flockimport "github.com/gofrs/flock"
fileLock := flock.New("/var/lock/go-lock.lock")
locked, err := fileLock.TryLock()
if err != nil {
// handle locking error
}
if locked {
// do work
fileLock.Unlock()
}For more detailed usage information take a look at the package API docs on GoDoc.
