NAME

Log::Dispatch::FileRotate::Flock - File Locking Functions for Log::Dispatch::FileRotate

VERSION

version 1.38

SYNOPSIS

 Internal Use Only!

DESCRIPTION

Internal Use Only!

METHODS

safe_flock($filehandle, $flags): boolean

This is a wrapper around flock() that handles things such as interruption of the call by a signal automatically.

flopen($path): ($filehandle, $inode)

This function is similar to BSD's flopen() function. It opens a file, obtiains an exclusive lock on it using flock(), and handles a bunch of race conditions that can happen. It returns the opened filehandle and the inode of the file on success, nothing on failure.
