Locking

val flock : [< OpamSystem.lock_flag ] -> ?dontblock:bool -> t -> OpamSystem.lock

See OpamSystem.flock. Prefer the higher level with_flock functions when possible

val with_flock : [< OpamSystem.lock_flag ] -> ?dontblock:bool -> t -> (Unix.file_descr -> 'a) -> 'a

Calls f while holding a lock file. Ensures the lock is properly released on f exit. Raises OpamSystem.Locked if dontblock is set and the lock can't be acquired. f is passed the file_descr of the lock.

val with_flock_upgrade : [< OpamSystem.actual_lock_flag ] -> ?dontblock:bool -> OpamSystem.lock -> (Unix.file_descr -> 'a) -> 'a

Calls f with the file lock upgraded to at least flag, then restores the previous lock level. Upgrade to `Lock_write should never be used in blocking mode as it would deadlock. Raises OpamSystem.Locked (but keeps the lock as is) if dontblock is set and the lock can't be upgraded.

val with_flock_write_then_read : ?dontblock:bool -> t -> (Unix.file_descr -> 'a) -> ('a -> 'b) -> 'b

Runs first function with a write lock on the given file, then releases it to a read lock and runs the second function.
