-## Check if running as root
-
-**__This can run only on POSIX. This will raise ImportError on non-POSIX platforms, such as MS Windows__**
-
-```python
-from satella.posix import is_running_as_root
-if is_running_as_root():
-    print('Root!')
-else:
-    print('Not root')
-```

-## Acquire a PID lock file
-
-**__This can run only on POSIX. This will raise ImportError on non-POSIX platforms, such as MS Windows__**
-
-Use a context manager, _AcquirePIDLock_ from module _satella.pid_. Example:
-
-Example:
-```python
-from satella.posix import AcquirePIDLock
-
-with AcquirePIDLock('satella.pid'):
-    print('Lock is acquired!')
-    
-print('Now lock is acquired!')
-```
-
-_AcquirePIDLock_ accepts extra keyword parameters:
-* base_dir (default _/var/run_) - base directory of PID lock files
-* delete_on_dead (default False) - if lock exists, but it's holder is dead, 
- remove the lock file and retry.
- 
-Entering _AcquirePIDLock_ context may throw:
-
-* _AcquirePIDLock.FailedToAcquire_ - base class for errors. Thrown if can't read the file
-* _AcquirePIDLock.LockIsHeld_ - lock is already held. This has two attributes - pid (int), the PID of holder,
- and is_alive (bool) - whether the holder is an alive process
-
-
-It is safe (and advisable!) to fork() inside this context manager. 
-
-Writing to _/var/run_ may require root permissions.
