+ \class QtLockedFile
+
+ \brief The QtLockedFile class extends QFile with advisory locking functions.
+
+ A file may be locked in read or write mode. Multiple instances of
+ \e QtLockedFile, created in multiple processes running on the same
+ machine, may have a file locked in read mode. Exactly one instance
+ may have it locked in write mode. A read and a write lock cannot
+ exist simultaneously on the same file.
+
+ The file locks are advisory. This means that nothing prevents
+ another process from manipulating a locked file using QFile or
+ file system functions offered by the OS. Serialization is only
+ guaranteed if all processes that access the file use
+ QtLockedFile. Also, while holding a lock on a file, a process
+ must not open the same file again (through any API), or locks
+ can be unexpectedly lost.
+
+ The lock provided by an instance of \e QtLockedFile is released
+ whenever the program terminates. This is true even when the
+ program crashes and no destructors are called.
+*/
+
+/*! \enum QtLockedFile::LockMode
+
+ This enum describes the available lock modes.
+
+ \value ReadLock A read lock.
+ \value WriteLock A write lock.
+ \value NoLock Neither a read lock nor a write lock.
