// Package flock implements a thread-safe sync.Locker interface for file locking.
// It also includes a non-blocking TryLock() function to allow locking
// without blocking execution.
//
// Package flock is released under the BSD 3-Clause License. See the LICENSE file
// for more details.
//
// While using this library, remember that the locking behaviors are not
// guaranteed to be the same on each platform. For example, some UNIX-like
// operating systems will transparently convert a shared lock to an exclusive
// lock. If you Unlock() the flock from a location where you believe that you
// have the shared lock, you may accidently drop the exclusive lock.
