# Log::Dispatch::File::Locked - phpMan

## NAME
    [Log::Dispatch::File::Locked] - Subclass of [Log::Dispatch::File] to
    facilitate locking

## VERSION
    version 2.70

## 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");

## DESCRIPTION
    This module acts exactly like [Log::Dispatch::File] except that it obtains
    an exclusive lock on the file while opening it.

    Note that if you are using this output because you want to write to a
    file from multiple processes, you should open the file with the append
    "mode" (">>"), or else it's quite likely that one process will overwrite
    another.

## SEE ALSO
    "flock" in perlfunc
