//! An OS advisory lock with holder metadata.
//!
//! One writer at a time over one record. The lock is the kernel's, so it is
//! released by drop and by process death and never by a timestamp this tool
//! wrote: a stale lock file cannot outlive the process that took it, and no
//! command has to decide whether an hour-old lock is abandoned.
//!
//! A busy lock refuses at once, naming the holder. There is no wait and no
//! `--force`: waiting turns a fast refusal into a hang, and forcing past a
//! live writer is the interleaving the lock exists to stop.
//!
//! The lock itself is the standard library's, `flock(2)` on Unix, so no
//! dependency carries it and no second implementation can disagree with the
//! kernel about what a lock means.
