+NFS-safe file locking with timeouts for POSIX and Windows.
+
+The flufl.lock library provides an NFS-safe file-based locking
+algorithm influenced by the GNU/Linux open(2) manpage, under the
+description of the O_EXCL option.
+
+The assumption made here is that there will be no outside
+interference, e.g. no agent external to this code will ever link() to
+the specific lock files used.
+
+Lock objects support lock-breaking so that you can’t wedge a process
+forever. This is especially helpful in a web environment, but may not
+be appropriate for all applications.
