DESCRIPTION

The ::Flock object locks the folder by creating an exclusive lock on the file using the kernel's flock facilities. This lock is created on a separate file-handle to the folder file, so not the handle which is reading.

File locking does not work in some situations, for instance for operating systems do not support flock.
