Log::Di...::Flock(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

Okay so bestie, welcome to Log::Di...::Flock(3) — this is from User Contributed Perl Documentation, no cap. It's Log::Dispatch::FileRotate::Flock - File Locking Functions for Log::Dispatch::FileRotate. It's giving internal helper energy, iykyk 💅.

💖 VERSION 💖

version 1.38 — periodt.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Internal Use Only!

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Internal Use Only! Like literally, vibe check: this is not the public main-character API, bestie. 🫶

💅 METHODS 💅

🎀 safe_flock($filehandle, $flags): boolean

This one is lowkey a wrapper around flock() that handles things such as interruption of the call by a signal automatically. Returns a boolean, per the signature. No cap.

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

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