Description

Coordinate file access across processes using a platform-independent lock. It helps Python applications avoid overlapping writes or reads when multiple workers might touch the same file.

This is a synchronization library, not a backup tool. Projects should test lock timeouts, crash recovery, and cleanup so stale locks do not block work or allow data corruption.
