Phalanger flock() is not working in Mono/Linux

flock() is not working in Mono/Linux

Open kripper opened this issue 7 years ago • 4 comments

Mono is not supporting a way to lock files for Linux: http://mono.1490590.n4.nabble.com/Equivalent-to-LockFileEx-on-Linux-td1575660.html

Any idea to solve or workaround this problem?

Most of the times flock() is used when we need to prevent really bad things to happen.

any cross-platform .NET api for that ?

Sure, maybe https://github.com/sjmelia/flock

sjmelia/flock uses pinvoke and linux/win32 only ... we would need a nuget package targeting netstandard1.5 and net46

See: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Flock
