named-lock

This crate provides a simple and cross-platform implementation of named locks. You can use this to lock sections between processes.

Example

```rust use namedlock::NamedLock; use namedlock::Result;

fn main() -> Result<()> { let lock = NamedLock::create("foobar")?; let _guard = lock.lock()?;

// Do something...

Ok(())

} ```

Implementation

On UNIX this is implemented by using files and [flock]. The path of the created lock file will be $TMPDIR/<name>.lock, or /tmp/<name>.lock if TMPDIR environment variable is not set.

On Windows this is implemented by creating named mutex with [CreateMutexW].
