ocaml-flock

Some type-safe C bindings to flock(2) and a simple OCaml wrapper function.

If you want to use flock and get on with your life then this is for you. Sure you can get this in Core, but if you only need flock then that's 10 more minutes building your package and 10 more MB to link it in that you can do without, right?

Installation

./configure [--enable-tests]
make
make install

Usage

There's only one function exposed by this library:

val flock : ?nonblocking:bool -> Unix.file_descr -> lock_operation -> unit

Go nuts!
