Methods

changeLock()

Check the type of an existing lock.

public changeLock(int $targetType) : mixed

A shared lock can be changed to an exclusive lock is there is exactly one shared lock on the file, an exclusive lock can always be changed to a shared lock since there can only be one exclusive lock int he first place.

A locked exception will be thrown when these preconditions are not met. Note that this is also the case if no existing lock exists for the file.

lock()

Acquire a lock on this file or folder.

public lock(int $type) : mixed

A shared (read) lock will prevent any exclusive (write) locks from being created but any number of shared locks can be active at the same time. An exclusive lock will prevent any other lock from being created (both shared and exclusive).

A locked exception will be thrown if any conflicting lock already exists

Note that this uses mandatory locking, if you acquire an exclusive lock on a file it will block all other operations for that file, even within the same php process.

Acquiring any lock on a file will also create a shared lock on all parent folders of that file.

Note that in most cases you won't need to manually manage the locks for any files you're working with, any filesystem operation will automatically acquire the relevant locks for that operation.

Parameters
$type : int

\OCP\Lock\ILockingProvider::LOCK_SHARED or \OCP\Lock\ILockingProvider::LOCK_EXCLUSIVE

unlock()
