Negative Offset
Function: int fcntl(int fd, int cmd, struct flock * lock)
Data Type: struct flock
This structure is used with the fcntl function to describe a file lock. It has these members:
off_t l_start
This specifies the offset of the start of the region to which the lock applies, and is given in bytes relative to the point specified by l_whence member.
off_t l_len
This specifies the length of the region to be locked. A value of 0 is treated specially; it means the region extends to the end of the file.
Can I set negative offset to l_start?

vop_advlock
VOP_ADVLOCK(9) BSD Kernel Developer's Manual VOP_ADVLOCK(9)
NAME
VOP_ADVLOCK -- advisory record locking
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/param.h>
#include <sys/vnode.h>
#include <sys/fcntl.h>
#include <sys/lockf.h>
int
VOP_ADVLOCK(struct vnode *vp, caddr_t id, int op, struct flock *fl, int flags);
DESCRIPTION
The arguments are:
vp The vnode being manipulated.
id The id token which is changing the lock.
op The operation to perform (see fcntl(2)).
fl Description of the lock.
flags One of more of the following:
F_RDLCK Shared or read lock.
F_UNLCK Unlock.
F_WRLCK Exclusive or write lock.
F_WAIT Wait until lock is granted.
F_FLOCK Use flock(2) semantics for lock.
F_POSIX Use POSIX semantics for lock.
This entry point manipulates advisory record locks on the file. Most file systems delegate the work for this call to lf_advlock().
RETURN VALUES
Zero is returned on success, otherwise an error is returned.
