#![cfg_attr(docsrs, feature(doc_cfg))]

//! This crate provides a simple and cross-platform implementation of named locks.
//! You can use this to lock sections between processes.
//!
//! ## Example
//!
//! ```rust
//! use named_lock::NamedLock;
//! use named_lock::Result;
//!
//! fn main() -> Result<()> {
//!     let lock = NamedLock::create("foobar")?;
//!     let _guard = lock.lock()?;
//!
//!     // Do something...
//!
//!     Ok(())
//! }
//! ```

// We handle two edge cases:
//
// On UNIX systems, after locking a file descriptor you can lock it again
// as many times you want. However OS does not keep a counter, so only one
// unlock must be performed. To avoid re-locking, we guard it with real mutex.
//
// On Windows, after locking a `HANDLE` you can create another `HANDLE` for
// the same named lock and the same process and Windows will allow you to
// re-lock it. To avoid this, we ensure that one `HANDLE` exists in each
// process for each name.
