  Description     : atomic is a go package for atomic file writing

 atomic is a go package for atomic file writing
 .
 By default, writing to a file in go (and generally any language) can
 fail partway through... you then have a partially written file, which
 probably was truncated when the write began, and bam, now you've lost
 data.
 .
 This go package avoids this problem, by writing first to a temp file,
 and then overwriting the target file in an atomic way.  This is easy on
 linux, os.Rename just is atomic.  However, on Windows, os.Rename is not
 atomic, and so bad things can happen.  By wrapping the windows API
 moveFileEx, we can ensure that the move is atomic, and we can be safe in
 knowing that either the move succeeds entirely, or neither file will be
 modified.

This is an indirect dependency of anubis (ITP #1102132). I plan to
maintain this under the Go team umbrella.
