RSFile provides pure-python drop-in replacements for the classes of the **io** module, and for the **open()** builtin.

Its goal is to provide a cross-platform, reliable, and comprehensive synchronous file I/O API, with advanced features like fine-grained opening modes, shared/exclusive file record locking, thread-safety, disk cache synchronization, file descriptor inheritability, and handy *stat* getters (size, inode, times...).

Locking is performed using actual file record locking capabilities of the OS, not by using separate files/directories as locking markers, or other fragile gimmicks.

Possible use cases for this library: concurrently writing to logs without ending up with garbled data, manipulating sensitive data like disk-based databases, synchronizing heterogeneous producer/consumer processes when multiprocessing semaphores aren't an option, etc.

Tested on CPython3, on windows and unix-like systems. *Should* work with IronPython/Jython/PyPy too, since it uses stdlib utilities and ctypes bridges.

QUICKSTART
------------

.. code-block:: python

    from rsfile import rsopen

    with rsopen("myfile.txt", "w") as f:
