# lockredis
Barebones locking utility for Redis. Uses the algorithm described in [Redis Documentation](http://redis.io/commands/SET).
## install
npm install lockredis
## usage
```javascript
var lockredis = require('lockredis');
var locker = lockredis(redis.createClient());
locker('lockname', {
timeout: 5000, // Time for a lock to expire on its own in milliseconds
retries: Infinity, // Number of retries in case the lock is already acquired
retryDelay: 250 // Time between retry attempts in milliseconds
}, function(err, done) {
if (err) {
// Lock could not be acquired for some reason.
}
// do stuff...
done() // release lock
});
```
