* call-seq:
- * file.flock(locking_constant) -> 0 or false
- *
- * Locks or unlocks a file according to <i>locking_constant</i> (a
- * logical <em>or</em> of the values in the table below).
- * Returns <code>false</code> if File::LOCK_NB is specified and the
- * operation would otherwise have blocked. Not available on all
- * platforms.
- *
- * Locking constants (in class File):
- *
- * LOCK_EX | Exclusive lock. Only one process may hold an
- * | exclusive lock for a given file at a time.
- * ----------+------------------------------------------------
- * LOCK_NB | Don't block when locking. May be combined
- * | with other lock options using logical or.
- * ----------+------------------------------------------------
- * LOCK_SH | Shared lock. Multiple processes may each hold a
- * | shared lock for a given file at the same time.
- * ----------+------------------------------------------------
- * LOCK_UN | Unlock.
*
* Example:
*
- * # update a counter using write lock
- * # don't use "w" because it truncates the file before lock.
- * File.open("counter", File::RDWR|File::CREAT, 0644) {|f|
- * f.flock(File::LOCK_EX)
- * value = f.read.to_i + 1
- * f.rewind
- * f.write("#{value}\n")
- * f.flush
- * f.truncate(f.pos)
- * }
- *
- * # read the counter using read lock
- * File.open("counter", "r") {|f|
- * f.flock(File::LOCK_SH)
- * p f.read
- * }
