image.unlock - Function

Release any lock on the image

Synopsis
unlock()

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.

Example

- im := imagefromarray('xx', array(0,10,20))
- im.unlock()

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