Exclusive lock of a file

[Sea&Gull]

Hi!

Could you please give me a hint how in Ruby
to open a file with exclusive lock?

As I know, in perl it is something like this:

open F, "filename";
flock F, 2



Thanks a lot!

File.open "filename" do |f|
f.flock LOCK_EX
...
end

Actually, that should be File::LOCK_EX.

File.open "filename" do |f|
f.flock LOCK_EX
...
end
