+    \class QtLockedFile
+
+    \brief The QtLockedFile class extends QFile with advisory locking
+    functions.
+
+    A file may be locked in read or write mode. Multiple instances of
+    \e QtLockedFile, created in multiple processes running on the same
+    machine, may have a file locked in read mode. Exactly one instance
+    may have it locked in write mode. A read and a write lock cannot
+    exist simultaneously on the same file.
+
+    The file locks are advisory. This means that nothing prevents
+    another process from manipulating a locked file using QFile or
+    file system functions offered by the OS. Serialization is only
+    guaranteed if all processes that access the file use
+    QLockedFile. Also, while holding a lock on a file, a process
+    must not open the same file again (through any API), or locks
+    can be unexpectedly lost.
+
+    The lock provided by an instance of \e QtLockedFile is released
+    whenever the program terminates. This is true even when the
+    program crashes and no destructors are called.
+*/
+
+/*! \enum QtLockedFile::LockMode
+
+    This enum describes the available lock modes.
+
+    \value ReadLock A read lock.
+    \value WriteLock A write lock.
+    \value NoLock Neither a read lock nor a write lock.

+/*!
+    \class QtSingleApplication qtsingleapplication.h
+    \brief The QtSingleApplication class provides an API to detect and
+    communicate with running instances of an application.
+
+    This class allows you to create applications where only one
+    instance should be running at a time. I.e., if the user tries to
+    launch another instance, the already running instance will be
+    activated instead. Another usecase is a client-server system,
+    where the first started instance will assume the role of server,
+    and the later instances will act as clients of that server.
+
+    By default, the full path of the executable file is used to
+    determine whether two processes are instances of the same
+    application. You can also provide an explicit identifier string
+    that will be compared instead.
+
+    The application should create the QtSingleApplication object early
+    in the startup phase, and call isRunning() or sendMessage() to
+    find out if another instance of this application is already
+    running. Startup parameters (e.g. the name of the file the user
+    wanted this new instance to open) can be passed to the running
+    instance in the sendMessage() function.
+
+    If isRunning() or sendMessage() returns false, it means that no
+    other instance is running, and this instance has assumed the role
+    as the running instance. The application should continue with the
+    initialization of the application user interface before entering
+    the event loop with exec(), as normal. The messageReceived()
+    signal will be emitted when the application receives messages from
+    another instance of the same application.
+
+    If isRunning() or sendMessage() returns true, another instance is
+    already running, and the application should terminate or enter
+    client mode.
+
+    If a message is received it might be helpful to the user to raise
+    the application so that it becomes visible. To facilitate this,
+    QtSingleApplication provides the setActivationWindow() function
+    and the activateWindow() slot.
+
+    Here's an example that shows how to convert an existing
+    application to use QtSingleApplication. It is very simple and does
+    not make use of all QtSingleApplication's functionality (see the
+    examples for that).
+
+    \code
+    // Original
+    int main(int argc, char **argv)
+    {
+        QApplication app(argc, argv);
+
+        MyMainWidget mmw;
+
+        mmw.show();
+        return app.exec();
+    }
+
+    // Single instance
+    int main(int argc, char **argv)
+    {
+        QtSingleApplication app(argc, argv);
+
+        if (app.isRunning())
+            return 0;
+
+        MyMainWidget mmw;
+
+        app.setActivationWindow(&mmw);
+
+        mmw.show();
+        return app.exec();
+    }
+    \endcode
+
+    Once this QtSingleApplication instance is destroyed(for example,
+    when the user quits), when the user next attempts to run the
+    application this instance will not, of course, be encountered. The
+    next instance to call isRunning() or sendMessage() will assume the
+    role as the new running instance.
+
+    For console (non-GUI) applications, QtSingleCoreApplication may be
+    used instead of this class, to avoid the dependency on the QtGui
+    library.
