# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. # Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and # the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. # You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| perl-File-FcntlLock: perl-File-FcntlLock (file locking with fcntl) perl-File-FcntlLock: perl-File-FcntlLock: File locking in Perl is usually done using the flock function. perl-File-FcntlLock: Unfortunately, this only allows locks on whole files and is often perl-File-FcntlLock: implemented in terms of the flock system function which has some perl-File-FcntlLock: shortcomings and slightly different behaviour than fcntl.
