Summary: Basic inter-process locks

Description:
The zc.lockfile package provides a basic portable implementation of
interprocess locks using lock files. The purpose if not specifically to lock
files, but to simply provide locks with an implementation based on
file-locking primitives. Of course, these locks could be used to mediate
access to other files. For example, the ZODB file storage implementation uses
file locks to mediate access to file-storage database files. The database
files and lock file files are separate files.
