FLOCK(2) System Calls Manual FLOCK(2)
NAME
flock - apply or remove an advisory lock on an open file
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/file.h>
#define LOCK_SH 1 /* shared lock */
#define LOCK_EX 2 /* exclusive lock */
#define LOCK_NB 4 /* don't block when locking */
#define LOCK_UN 8 /* unlock */
flock(fd, operation)
int fd, operation;
DESCRIPTION
Flock applies or removes an advisory lock on the file associated with the file descriptor fd. A lock is applied by specifying an operation
parameter that is the inclusive or of LOCK_SH or LOCK_EX and, possibly, LOCK_NB. To unlock an existing lock operation should be LOCK_UN.
Advisory locks allow cooperating processes to perform consistent operations on files, but do not guarantee consistency (i.e., processes may
still access files without using advisory locks possibly resulting in inconsistencies).
The locking mechanism allows two types of locks: shared locks and exclusive locks. At any time multiple shared locks may be applied to a
file, but at no time are multiple exclusive, or both shared and exclusive, locks allowed simultaneously on a file.
A shared lock may be upgraded to an exclusive lock, and vice versa, simply by specifying the appropriate lock type; this results in the
previous lock being released and the new lock applied (possibly after other processes have gained and released the lock).
Requesting a lock on an object that is already locked normally causes the caller to be blocked until the lock may be acquired. If LOCK_NB
is included in operation, then this will not happen; instead the call will fail and the error EWOULDBLOCK will be returned.
NOTES
Locks are on files, not file descriptors. That is, file descriptors duplicated through dup(2) or fork(2) do not result in multiple
instances of a lock, but rather multiple references to a single lock. If a process holding a lock on a file forks and the child explicitly
unlocks the file, the parent will lose its lock.
Processes blocked awaiting a lock may be awakened by signals.
RETURN VALUE
Zero is returned if the operation was successful; on an error a -1 is returned and an error code is left in the global location errno.
ERRORS
The flock call fails if:
[EWOULDBLOCK] The file is locked and the LOCK_NB option was specified.
[EBADF] The argument fd is an invalid descriptor.
[EINVAL] The argument fd refers to an object other than a file.
