| summary | This article explores file locking mechanisms in Linux, with a focus on implementing these methods in the Ruby programming language. It begins by explaining the importance of file locking for concurrent access control in multi-user environments. The content then delves into various Linux file locking techniques, including flock(), semop(2), and native POSIX message passing (IPC).
The article illustrates how to use these mechanisms with real-world Ruby examples. It highlights the advantages and limitations of each method and discusses their suitability for different scenarios. The content also covers potential pitfalls, such as deadlocks, and offers best practices to avoid them. Overall, this resource serves as a practical guide for developers seeking to employ file locking in their Ruby applications while ensuring data integrity and consistency in Linux environments. |
