=head1 NAME
File::Information::Lock - generic module for extracting information from filesystems
=head1 VERSION
version v0.06
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use File::Information;
my File::Information::Lock $lock = $obj->lock;
This package is used to represent locks on resources and objects.
The lock is hold until the last reference to the object is gone.
=head1 METHODS
=head2 new
my File::Information::Lock $lock = File::Information::Lock->new([ instance => $instance, ] parent => $parent, on_unlock => \&unlock_sub);
Returns a new lock object. Requires an instance (L<File::Information>), a parent object (what is locked), and an unlock function.
If no instance is given C<$parent-E<gt>instance> is called to obtain one.
Once this lock is gone the unlock function is called. It is normally a private method of the object that is locked.
The unlock function is responsible of handling the case with multiple lock objects being alive at the same time. So any unlock function must check
if all locks are gone before performing an actual unlock. The unlock function is called on C<$parent> and passing the lock as first argument.
=head2 instance
my File::Information $instance = $lock->instance;
Returns the instance that was used to create this object.
=head2 parent
my $parent = $lock->parent;
Returns the parent that was used to create this object.
