_locking

Locks or unlocks bytes of a file.

int _locking( 
   int fd, 
   int mode, 
   long nbytes  
);

Paramètres

  • fd
    File descriptor.

  • mode
    Locking action to perform.

  • nbytes
    Number of bytes to lock.

Valeur de retour

_locking returns 0 if successful. A return value of –1 indicates failure, in which case errno is set to one of the following values.

  • EACCES
    Locking violation (file already locked or unlocked).

  • EBADF
    Invalid file descriptor.

  • EDEADLOCK
    Locking violation. Returned when the _LK_LOCK or _LK_RLCK flag is specified and the file cannot be locked after 10 attempts.

  • EINVAL
    An invalid argument was given to _locking.

If the failure is due to a bad parameter, such as an invalid file descriptor, the invalid parameter handler is invoked, as described in Validation de paramètre.

Notes

The _locking function locks or unlocks nbytes bytes of the file specified by fd. Locking bytes in a file prevents access to those bytes by other processes. All locking or unlocking begins at the current position of the file pointer and proceeds for the next nbytes bytes. It is possible to lock bytes past end of file.

mode must be one of the following manifest constants, which are defined in Locking.h.

  • _LK_LOCK
    Locks the specified bytes. If the bytes cannot be locked, the program immediately tries again after 1 second. If, after 10 attempts, the bytes cannot be locked, the constant returns an error.

  • _LK_NBLCK
    Locks the specified bytes. If the bytes cannot be locked, the constant returns an error.

  • _LK_NBRLCK
    Identique à _LK_NBLCK.

  • _LK_RLCK
    Identique à _LK_LOCK.

  • _LK_UNLCK
    Unlocks the specified bytes, which must have been previously locked.

Multiple regions of a file that do not overlap can be locked. A region being unlocked must have been previously locked. _locking does not merge adjacent regions; if two locked regions are adjacent, each region must be unlocked separately. Regions should be locked only briefly and should be unlocked before closing a file or exiting the program.

   _close( fh );

Input: crt_locking.txt

The first thirty bytes of this file will be locked.

Résultat de l'exemple

No one can change these bytes while I'm reading them
30 bytes read: The first thirty bytes of this
Now I'm done. Do what you will with them
