## Methods


| Method | Modifiers | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [acquire()](https://imqueue.org/api/pg-pubsub/latest/pg-pubsub.nolock.acquire/) |  | Always acquires, because it's no lock |
| [destroy()](https://imqueue.org/api/pg-pubsub/latest/pg-pubsub.nolock.destroy/) |  | Safely destroys this no lock |
| [dispose()](https://imqueue.org/api/pg-pubsub/latest/pg-pubsub.nolock.dispose/) |  | Frees no resources: no lock holds none |
| [init()](https://imqueue.org/api/pg-pubsub/latest/pg-pubsub.nolock.init/) |  | Init no lock |
| [isAcquired()](https://imqueue.org/api/pg-pubsub/latest/pg-pubsub.nolock.isacquired/) |  | Always acquired, because it's no lock |
| [onAcquire(handler)](https://imqueue.org/api/pg-pubsub/latest/pg-pubsub.nolock.onacquire/) |  | Registers nothing: [NoLock.acquire()](https://imqueue.org/api/pg-pubsub/latest/pg-pubsub.nolock.acquire/) always succeeds immediately, so there is no late takeover for the handler to report. |
| [onRelease(handler)](https://imqueue.org/api/pg-pubsub/latest/pg-pubsub.nolock.onrelease/) |  | Registers nothing: a no-op lock is never held, so it is never released and the handler could never fire. |
| [release()](https://imqueue.org/api/pg-pubsub/latest/pg-pubsub.nolock.release/) |  | Never releases, because it's no lock |
