Detailed Description

Class that manages the creation of a lock file to aid implicit coordination between different processes.

The implicit coordination works by creating a ".lock" file alongside the file that we're coordinating for, using the atomicity of the file system to ensure that only a single process can create that ".lock" file. When the lock file is removed, the owning process has finished the operation.
