What is go-flock?
The go-flock library provides a thread-safe approach to managing file locks in Go applications. It offers a simple and consistent interface for acquiring, releasing, and inspecting the status of file locks, ensuring reliable coordination across concurrent processes. The library supports both exclusive and shared lock modes, enabling flexible locking strategies to suit different use cases. By leveraging the underlying operating system's file locking mechanisms, go-flock ensures robust and reliable lock management, making it a valuable tool for building distributed or multi-threaded Go applications that require coordinated access to shared resources
