Size : 28 k
Source : perl-File-NFSLock-1.29-4.el8.src.rpm
Repository : epel
Summary : Perl module to do NFS (or not) locking
URL : https://metacpan.org/release/File-NFSLock
License : GPL+ or Artistic
Description : Program based of concept of hard linking of files being atomic across NFS.
: This concept was mentioned in Mail::Box::Locker (which was originally
: presented in Mail::Folder::Maildir). Some routine flow is taken from
: there -- particularly the idea of creating a random local file, hard
: linking a common file to the local file, and then checking the nlink
: status. Some ideologies were not complete (uncache mechanism, shared
: locking) and some coding was even incorrect (wrong stat index).
: File::NFSLock was written to be light, generic, and fast.
