Example

Note

You will probably be protecting the entire application, rather than a single object.

type Storage struct {
	mutex locker.Mutex
}

func New(fileLock string) (*Storage, error) {
	mutex, err := locker.NewFileMutex(fileLock)
	if err != nil {
		return nil, err
	}
	return &Storage{
		mutex: mutex,
	}, nil
}

func (s *Storage) Action() (err error) {
	defer s.mutex.Unlock()
	err = s.mutex.Lock()
	if err != nil {
		return err
	}
	fmt.Println("action")
	return nil
}

go run ./example/main.go lock ./testdata/file.lock
go run ./example/main.go try-lock ./testdata/file.lock
go run ./example/main.go multi-lock ./testdata/file.lock
go run ./example/main.go unlock ./testdata/file.lock
