Name

Lucy::Store::LockFactory – Create Locks.

Description

LockFactory is used to spin off interprocess mutex locks used by various index reading and writing components. The default implementation uses lockfiles, but LockFactory subclasses which are implemented using alternatives such as flock() are possible.

Methods

Make_Lock

lucy_Lock* // incremented
lucy_LockFact_Make_Lock(
    lucy_LockFactory *self,
    cfish_String *name,
    int32_t timeout,
    int32_t interval
);

Return a Lock object, which, once Obtain() returns successfully, maintains an exclusive lock on a resource.

name

lucy_LockFact_Make_Shared_Lock(
    lucy_LockFactory *self,
    cfish_String *name,
    int32_t timeout,
    int32_t interval
);

Return a Lock object for which Shared() returns true, and which maintains a non-exclusive lock on a resource once Obtain() returns success.
