image.unlock - Function

1.1.1 Release any lock on the image
Description

This function releases any lock set on the image file (and also flushes any outstanding I/O to disk). It is not of general user interest. It can be useful in scripts when a file is being shared between more than one process. See also functions lock and haslock.

Arguments

Returns
bool

Example

"""
#
print "\t----\t unlock Ex 1 \t----"
ia.fromarray(’xx’, ia.makearray(0,[10,20]), overwrite=true)
ia.unlock()
ia.close()
#
"""

This releases the write lock on the image file. Now some other process can gain immediate access to the image file.
