NAME

       Log::Dispatch::FileRotate::Flock - File Locking Functions for Log::Dispatch::FileRotate

VERSION

       version 1.38

SYNOPSIS

        Internal Use Only!

   DESCRIPTION
       Internal Use Only!

METHODS

   safe_flock($filehandle, $flags): boolean
       This is a wrapper around flock() that handles things such as interruption of the call by a signal
       automatically.

   flopen($path): ($filehandle, $inode)
       This function is similar to BSD's flopen() function.  It opens a file, obtiains an exclusive lock on it
       using flock(), and handles a bunch of race conditions that can happen.  It returns the opened filehandle
       and the inode of the file on success, nothing on failure.
