LockSmith is meant to be a system lock manager for swift executables.
By creating a LockSmith instance, you are locking down your current swift executable so that no other instance can be running. You also gain access to easy locking mechanisms for files and threads to help make you program thread-safe.
Installation can be done through the Swift Package Manager
Add the following line to your dependencies in you Package.swift file
.package(url: "https://github.com/Ponyboy47/LockSmith.git", from: "0.2.0")In your main.swift:
import LockSmith
guard var processLock = LockSmith.singleton else {
print("Another instance of your executable is already running")
}
// Your executable code here...
// This forces the destructor to be called, which unlocks any leftover locks (like the process lock)
processLock = nil
// the endMore examples later...
