Lock files across processes. Inspired by go4 lock
$ npm install lock-meconst Lock = require('lock-me')
const mylock = new Lock()
const lockfile = 'me.lock'
lock(lockfile, (err, lk) => {
if (err) throw err
// 'me.lock' is now locked
lk.close((err) => {
if (err) throw err
// 'me.lock' is no longer locked
})
})When the process dies, the lock is released so no stale lock files remain.
If they do remain, my-lock will understand it and delete the stale file.
