@Catfish_Man It's the kind of thing people would implement for themselves—poorly—if it wasn't there.

@Catfish_Man I'm not using it, and it's pretty clear it would have limitations like that. But seems like a reasonable LCD option to have…

@Catfish_Man Those aren't near as convenient as distributed locks with a network filesystem, but I guess that's not common these days.

@Javi @millenomi @Catfish_Man Only safe in iOS 8.2 and later? mjtsai.com/blog/2015/05/1…

@atomicbird @millenomi @Catfish_Man The current version online. Looks like I parsed it wrong. Read it as "in same process" applying to all.

@millenomi @Catfish_Man @atomicbird The very first sentence of the NSFileCoordinator documentation says it's for within the same process.

@Catfish_Man What else would you suggest when there are multiple processes accessing the same file?
