-- This package contains the necessary routines for using files for the
-- purpose of providing realiable system wide locking capability.
package GNAT.Lock_Files is
pragma Preelaborate;
Lock_Error : exception;
-- Exception raised if file cannot be locked
subtype Path_Name is String;
-- Pathname is used by all services provided in this unit to specified
-- directory name and file name. On DOS based systems both directory
-- separators are handled (i.e. slash and backslash).
procedure Lock_File
(Directory : Path_Name;
Lock_File_Name : Path_Name;
Wait : Duration := 1.0;
Retries : Natural := Natural'Last);
-- Create a lock file Lock_File_Name in directory Directory. If the file
-- cannot be locked because someone already owns the lock, this procedure
-- waits Wait seconds and retries at most Retries times. If the file
-- still cannot be locked, Lock_Error is raised. The default is to try
-- every second, almost forever (Natural'Last times). The full path of
-- the file is constructed by concatenating Directory and Lock_File_Name.
-- Directory can optionally terminate with a directory separator.
procedure Lock_File
(Lock_File_Name : Path_Name;
Wait : Duration := 1.0;
Retries : Natural := Natural'Last);
-- See above. The full lock file path is given as one string.
procedure Unlock_File (Directory : Path_Name; Lock_File_Name : Path_Name);
-- Unlock a file. Directory can optionally terminate with a directory
-- separator.
procedure Unlock_File (Lock_File_Name : Path_Name);
-- Unlock a file whose full path is given in Lock_File_Name
