//! git-style registered lock files to make altering resources atomic. //! //! In this model, reads are always atomic and can be performed directly while writes are facilitated by the locking mechanism //! implemented here. Locks are acquired atomically, then written to, to finally atomically overwrite the actual resource. //! //! Lock files are wrapped [`gix-tempfile`](gix_tempfile)-handles and add the following: //! //! * consistent naming of lock files //! * block the thread (with timeout) or fail immediately if a lock cannot be obtained right away //! * commit lock files to atomically put them into the location of the originally locked file //! //! # Limitations //! //! * [All limitations of `gix-tempfile`](gix_tempfile) apply. **A highlight of such a limitation is resource leakage //! which results in them being permanently locked unless there is user-intervention.** //! * As the lock file is separate from the actual resource, locking is merely a convention rather than being enforced. //! //! ## Examples //! //! ``` //! # fn main() -> Result<(), Box> { //! use std::io::Write; //! //! # let dir = tempfile::tempdir()?; //! let resource = dir.path().join("config"); //! std::fs::write(&resource, b"old = value\n")?; //! let mut lock = gix_lock::File::acquire_to_update_resource( //! &resource, //! gix_lock::acquire::Fail::Immediately, //! None, //! )?; //! lock.write_all(b"new = value\n")?; //! let (resource_path, _) = lock.commit()?; //! //! assert_eq!(resource_path, resource); //! assert_eq!(std::fs::read_to_string(&resource)?, "new = value\n"); //! # Ok(()) } //! ``` #![deny(missing_docs, unsafe_code)] use std::path::PathBuf; pub use gix_tempfile as tempfile; use gix_tempfile::handle::{Closed, Writable}; const DOT_LOCK_SUFFIX: &str = ".lock"; /// pub mod acquire; pub use gix_utils::backoff; /// pub mod commit; /// Locks a resource to eventually be overwritten with the content of this file. /// /// Dropping the file without [committing][File::commit] will delete it, leaving the underlying resource unchanged. #[must_use = "A File that is immediately dropped doesn't allow resource updates"] #[derive(Debug)] pub struct File { inner: gix_tempfile::Handle, lock_path: PathBuf, } /// Locks a resource to allow related resources to be updated using [files][File]. /// /// As opposed to the [File] type this one won't keep the tempfile open for writing and thus consumes no /// system resources, nor can it be persisted. #[must_use = "A Marker that is immediately dropped doesn't lock a resource meaningfully"] #[derive(Debug)] pub struct Marker { inner: gix_tempfile::Handle, created_from_file: bool, lock_path: PathBuf, } /// pub mod file;
