NAME

        File::Flock::Forking - adjust File::Flock to handle fork()

SYNOPSIS

        use File::Flock::Forking;
        use File::Flock;

DESCRIPTION

       The purpose of File::Flock::Forking is to change the implementation of File::Flock to handle locking on
       systems that do not hold locks across calls to fork().

       If you are using File::Flock or any module that uses File::Flock then and your program uses fork(), then
       you should import File::Flock::Forking before you import File::Flock or any module that uses File::Flock.

       On most operating systems, File::Flock::Forking does nothing.  On Solaris, it changes the behavior of
       File::Flock to be implemented by File::Flock::Subprocess.

       You can also force it to use FIle::Flock::Subprocess by with

               $ENV{FLOCK_FORKING_USE} = 'subprocess'

       Or force it to use File::Flock with

               $ENV{FLOCK_FORKING_USE} = 'flock'
