//! A library for cooperative port allocation between multiple processes.
//!
//! Fedimint tests in many places need to allocate ranges of unused ports for
//! Federations and other software under tests, without being able to `bind`
//! them beforehand.
//!
//! We used to mitigate that using a global per-process atomic counter, as
//! as simple port allocation mechanism. But this does not prevent conflicts
//! between different processes.
//!
//! Normally this would prevent us from running multiple tests at the same time,
//! which also makes it impossible to use `cargo nextest`.
//!
//! This library keeps track of allocated ports (with an expiration timeout) in
//! a shared file, protected by an advisory fs lock, and uses `bind` to make
//! sure a given port is actually free
