    13  // A Mutex provides mutual exclusion within and across processes by locking a
    14  // well-known file. Such a file generally guards some other part of the
    15  // filesystem: for example, a Mutex file in a directory might guard access to
    16  // the entire tree rooted in that directory.
    17  //
    18  // Mutex does not implement sync.Locker: unlike a sync.Mutex, a lockedfile.Mutex
    19  // can fail to lock (e.g. if there is a permission error in the filesystem).
    20  //
    21  // Like a sync.Mutex, a Mutex may be included as a field of a larger struct but
    22  // must not be copied after first use. The Path field must be set before first
    23  // use and must not be change thereafter.
