Lock file is a traditional means of synchronization among processes. In this
module it is implemented as an empty regular file exclusively locked using
fcntl.lockf. When it is to be released it is removed by default. However, if
all cooperating processes turn off the removal, they get a guaranteed order of
acquisitions and better scalability.

Lock files are used on Unix-like systems as a means of synchronization among
processes. Only one process can hold a lock file. Other processes that want to
acquire it have to wait until it is released by the holder.
In this module the lock file is implemented as an empty regular file,
exclusively locked using fcntl.flock. The file is removed when it is to be
released.
