=head1 NAME

Log::Dispatch::File::Locked - Subclass of Log::Dispatch::File to facilitate locking

=head1 VERSION

version 2.41

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Log::Dispatch;

  my $log = Log::Dispatch->new(
      outputs => [
          [
              'File::Locked',
              min_level => 'info',
              filename  => 'Somefile.log',
              mode      => '>>',
              newline   => 1
          ]
      ],
  );

  $log->emerg("I've fallen and I can't get up");

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module acts exactly like L<Log::Dispatch::File> except that it
obtains an exclusive lock on the file while opening it.

=head1 CAVEATS

B<DANGER!> Use very carefully in multi-process environments. Because the lock
is obtained at file open time, not at write time, you may experience deadlocks
in your system.

You can partially work around this by using the C<close_after_write> option,
which causes the file to be re-opened every time a log message is written.

Alternatively, the C<syswrite> option does atomic writes, which may mean that
you don't need locking at all.

See  L<Log::Dispatch::File>) for details on these options.
