type Mutex ¶

type Mutex struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Mutex is a file-based mutex intended to facilitate cross-process synchronization. Locks acquired by Mutex are advisory, so all participating processes must use advisory lock features in order to co-operate. Locks acquired by Mutex are not inherited by child processes and are automatically released when the process exits.

It is not intended for in-process synchronization, and should not be shared between goroutines without being appropriately guarded by a sync.Mutex.
