Profpatsch 4a7f99d55d treewide: with stdenv.lib; in meta -> with lib;
Part of: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/108938

meta = with stdenv.lib;

is a widely used pattern. We want to slowly remove
the `stdenv.lib` indirection and encourage people
to use `lib` directly. Thus let’s start with the meta
field.

This used a rewriting script to mostly automatically
replace all occurances of this pattern, and add the
`lib` argument to the package header if it doesn’t
exist yet.

The script in its current form is available at
https://cs.tvl.fyi/depot@2f807d7f141068d2d60676a89213eaa5353ca6e0/-/blob/users/Profpatsch/nixpkgs-rewriter/default.nix

description = "LD_PRELOAD shim to add file locking to programs that don't do it (I'm looking at you, rsync!)";
longDescription = ''
This library and tool exists solely because rsync doesn't have file locking.
It's not used like a normal library; you don't link against it, and you
don't have to patch your source code to use it. It's inserted between your
program and its libraries by use of LD_PRELOAD.
For example:
$ env LD_PRELOAD=$(nix-build -A pkgs.flockit)/lib/libflockit.so FLOCKIT_FILE_PREFIX=test rsync SRC DEST
Besides the library a handy executable is provided which can simplify the above to:
$ $(nix-build -A pkgs.flockit)/bin/flockit test rsync SRC DEST
