  Description     : Platform-independent file locking module

 The lockfile module exports a FileLock class which provides a simple API for
 locking files. Unlike the Windows msvcrt.locking function, the Unix
 fcntl.flock, fcntl.lockf and the deprecated posixfile module, the API is
 identical across both Unix (including Linux and Mac) and Windows platforms.
 The lock mechanism relies on the atomic nature of the link (on Unix) and
 mkdir (on Windows) system calls.
