   lockf    ( 3 )

применить, проверить или снять блокировку POSIX для открытого файла (apply, test or remove a POSIX lock on an open file)

Имя (Name)

lockf - apply, test or remove a POSIX lock on an open file

Синопсис (Synopsis)

#include <unistd.h>

int lockf(int fd, int cmd, off_t len);

Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

lockf(): _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500 || /* Glibc since 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE || /* Glibc <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE


Описание (Description)

Apply, test, or remove a POSIX lock on a section of an open file.
       The file is specified by fd, a file descriptor open for writing,
       the action by cmd, and the section consists of byte positions
       pos..pos+len-1 if len is positive, and pos-len..pos-1 if len is
       negative, where pos is the current file position, and if len is
       zero, the section extends from the current file position to
       infinity, encompassing the present and future end-of-file
       positions.  In all cases, the section may extend past current
       end-of-file.

On Linux, lockf() is just an interface on top of fcntl(2) locking. Many other systems implement lockf() in this way, but note that POSIX.1 leaves the relationship between lockf() and fcntl(2) locks unspecified. A portable application should probably avoid mixing calls to these interfaces.

Valid operations are given below:

F_LOCK Set an exclusive lock on the specified section of the file. If (part of) this section is already locked, the call blocks until the previous lock is released. If this section overlaps an earlier locked section, both are merged. File locks are released as soon as the process holding the locks closes some file descriptor for the file. A child process does not inherit these locks.

F_TLOCK Same as F_LOCK but the call never blocks and returns an error instead if the file is already locked.

F_ULOCK Unlock the indicated section of the file. This may cause a locked section to be split into two locked sections.

F_TEST Test the lock: return 0 if the specified section is unlocked or locked by this process; return -1, set errno to EAGAIN (EACCES on some other systems), if another process holds a lock.


Возвращаемое значение (Return value)

On success, zero is returned.  On error, -1 is returned, and
       errno is set to indicate the error.

Ошибки (Error)

EACCES or EAGAIN
              The file is locked and F_TLOCK or F_TEST was specified, or
              the operation is prohibited because the file has been
              memory-mapped by another process.

EBADF fd is not an open file descriptor; or cmd is F_LOCK or F_TLOCK and fd is not a writable file descriptor.

EDEADLK The command was F_LOCK and this lock operation would cause a deadlock.

EINTR While waiting to acquire a lock, the call was interrupted by delivery of a signal caught by a handler; see signal(7).

EINVAL An invalid operation was specified in cmd.

ENOLCK Too many segment locks open, lock table is full.
