|
|
.It
|
|
|
|
Same object references as the original descriptor.
|
|
|
|
.It
|
|
|
|
New descriptor shares the same file offset if the object
|
|
|

Same file status flags (i.e., both file descriptors
|
|
|
|
share the same file status flags).

|
.It Dv O_DIRECT
|
|
|
|
Minimize or eliminate the cache effects of reading and writing. The system
|
|
|
|
will attempt to avoid caching the data you read or write. If it cannot
|
|
|
|
avoid caching the data, it will minimize the impact the data has on the cache.
|

Several commands are available for doing advisory file locking;
|
|
|
|
they all operate on the following structure:
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
|
|
struct flock {
|
|
|
|
off_t l_start; /* starting offset */
|
|
|
|
off_t l_len; /* len = 0 means until end of file */
|
|
|
|
pid_t l_pid; /* lock owner */
|
|
|
|
short l_type; /* lock type: read/write, etc. */
|
|
|
|
short l_whence; /* type of l_start */
|
|
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
The commands available for advisory record locking are as follows:
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width F_SETLKWX
|
|
|
|
.It Dv F_GETLK
|
|
|
|
Get the first lock that blocks the lock description pointed to by the
|
|
|
|
third argument,
|
|
|
|
.Fa arg ,
|
|
|
|
taken as a pointer to a
|
|
|
|
.Fa "struct flock"
|
|
|
|
(see above).
|
|
|
|
The information retrieved overwrites the information passed to
|
1996-08-22 22:05:59 +00:00
|
|
|
.Fn fcntl
|
1994-05-27 05:00:24 +00:00
|
|
|
in the
|
|
|
|
.Fa flock
|
|
|
|
structure.
|
|
|
|
If no lock is found that would prevent this lock from being created,
|
|
|
|
the structure is left unchanged by this function call except for the
|
|
|
|
lock type which is set to
|
|
|
|
.Dv F_UNLCK .
|
|
|
|
.It Dv F_SETLK
|
|
|
|
Set or clear a file segment lock according to the lock description
|
|
|
|
pointed to by the third argument,
|
|
|
|
.Fa arg ,
|
|
|
|
taken as a pointer to a

|
.Fa "struct flock"
|
|
|
|
(see above).
|
|
|
|
.Dv F_SETLK
|
|

is used to establish shared (or read) locks
|
2001-02-01 16:38:02 +00:00
|
|
|
.Pq Dv F_RDLCK
|
1994-05-27 05:00:24 +00:00

|
|
|
.Pq Dv F_WRLCK ,
|
1994-05-27 05:00:24 +00:00

|
as well as remove either type of lock

2001-02-01 16:38:02 +00:00
|
|
|
.Pq Dv F_UNLCK .
|
1994-05-27 05:00:24 +00:00

If a shared or exclusive lock cannot be set,
|
1996-08-22 22:05:59 +00:00
|
|
|
.Fn fcntl
|
1994-05-27 05:00:24 +00:00

1994-05-27 05:00:24 +00:00
|

|
.It Dv F_SETLKW
|
|
|
|
This command is the same as
|
|
|
|
.Dv F_SETLK
|
|
|
|
except that if a shared or exclusive lock is blocked by other locks,
|
|
|
|
the process waits until the request can be satisfied.
|

If a signal that is to be caught is received while

|
|
When a shared lock has been set on a segment of a file,
|
|
|
|
other processes can set shared locks on that segment
|
|
|
|
or a portion of it.
|
|
|
|
A shared lock prevents any other process from setting an exclusive
|
|
|
|
lock on any portion of the protected area.
|
|
|
|
A request for a shared lock fails if the file descriptor was not
|
|
|
|
opened with read access.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
An exclusive lock prevents any other process from setting a shared lock or
|
|
|
|
an exclusive lock on any portion of the protected area.
|
|
|
|
A request for an exclusive lock fails if the file was not
|
|
|
|
opened with write access.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
The value of
|
|
|
|
.Fa l_whence
|
|
|
|
is
|
|
|
|
.Dv SEEK_SET ,
|
|
|
|
.Dv SEEK_CUR ,
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
.Dv SEEK_END
|
|
|
|
to indicate that the relative offset,
|
|
|
|
.Fa l_start
|
|
|
|
bytes, will be measured from the start of the file,
|
|
|
|
current position, or end of the file, respectively.
|
|
|
|
The value of
|
|
|
|
.Fa l_len
|
|
|
|
is the number of consecutive bytes to be locked.
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
.Fa l_pid
|
|
|
|
field is only used with
|
|
|
|
.Dv F_GETLK
|
|
|
|
to return the process ID of the process holding a blocking lock.
|
|
|
|
After a successful
|
|
|
|
.Dv F_GETLK
|
|
|
|
request, the value of
|
|
|
|
.Fa l_whence
|
|
|
|
is
|
|
|
|
.Dv SEEK_SET .
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
Locks may start and extend beyond the current end of a file,
|
|
|
|
but may not start or extend before the beginning of the file.
|
|
|
|
A lock is set to extend to the largest possible value of the
|
|
|
|
file offset for that file if
|
|
|
|
.Fa l_len
|
2000-03-02 09:14:21 +00:00
|
|
|
is set to zero.
|
|
|
|
If
|
1994-05-27 05:00:24 +00:00
|
|
|
.Fa l_whence
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
.Fa l_start
|
|
|
|
point to the beginning of the file, and
|
|
|
|
.Fa l_len
|
|
|
|
is zero, the entire file is locked.
|
|
|
|
If an application wishes only to do entire file locking, the
|
|
|
|
.Xr flock 2
|
|
|
|
system call is much more efficient.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
There is at most one type of lock set for each byte in the file.
|
|
|
|
Before a successful return from an
|
|
|
|
.Dv F_SETLK
|
|
|
|
or an
|
|
|
|
.Dv F_SETLKW
|
|
|
|
request when the calling process has previously existing locks
|
|
|
|
on bytes in the region specified by the request,
|
|
|
|
the previous lock type for each byte in the specified
|
|
|
|
region is replaced by the new lock type.
|
|
|
|
As specified above under the descriptions
|
|
|
|
of shared locks and exclusive locks, an
|
|
|
|
.Dv F_SETLK
|
|
|
|
or an
|
|
|
|
.Dv F_SETLKW
|
|
|
|
request fails or blocks respectively when another process has existing
|
|
|
|
locks on bytes in the specified region and the type of any of those
|
|
|
|
locks conflicts with the type specified in the request.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
This interface follows the completely stupid semantics of System V and
|
|
|
|
.St -p1003.1-88
|
|
|
|
that require that all locks associated with a file for a given process are
|
2001-07-15 07:53:42 +00:00
|
|
|
removed when
|
1997-01-31 01:06:39 +00:00
|
|
|
.Em any
|
|
|
|
file descriptor for that file is closed by that process.
|
1994-05-27 05:00:24 +00:00
|
|
|
This semantic means that applications must be aware of any files that
|
|
|
|
a subroutine library may access.
|
|
|
|
For example if an application for updating the password file locks the
|
|
|
|
password file database while making the update, and then calls
|
1996-02-15 20:07:05 +00:00
|
|
|
.Xr getpwnam 3
|
1994-05-27 05:00:24 +00:00
|
|
|
to retrieve a record,
|
2001-07-15 07:53:42 +00:00
|
|
|
the lock will be lost because
|
1996-02-15 20:07:05 +00:00
|
|
|
.Xr getpwnam 3
|
1994-05-27 05:00:24 +00:00
|
|
|
opens, reads, and closes the password database.
|
|
|
|
The database close will release all locks that the process has
|
|
|
|
associated with the database, even if the library routine never
|
|
|
|
requested a lock on the database.
|
|
|
|
Another minor semantic problem with this interface is that
|
|
|
|
locks are not inherited by a child process created using the
|
|
|
|
.Xr fork 2
|
|
|
|
function.
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
.Xr flock 2
|
|
|

removed when the process terminates.

All locks obtained before a call to
|
|
|
|
.Xr execve 2
|
|
|
|
remain in effect until the new program releases them.
|
|

|
If the new program does not know about the locks, they will not be

|
|
released until the program exits.

|
A potential for deadlock occurs if a process controlling a locked region
|
|
|
|
is put to sleep by attempting to lock the locked region of another process.
|
|
|
|
This implementation detects that sleeping until a locked region is unlocked
|
|
|
|
would cause a deadlock and fails with an
|
|
|
|
.Er EDEADLK
|
|
|
|
error.

.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
|
|
|
|
In the non-threaded library
|
|
|
|
.Fn fcntl
|
|
|
|
is implemented as the
|
|
|
|
.Va fcntl
|
|
|
|
syscall.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
In the threaded library, the
|
|
|
|
.Va fcntl
|
|
|
|
syscall is assembled to
|
|
|
|
.Fn _thread_sys_fcntl
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
.Fn fcntl
|
1996-01-30 16:34:52 +00:00
|
|
|
is implemented as a function which disables thread rescheduling, locks
|
2000-06-23 05:05:44 +00:00
|
|
|
.Fa fd
|
1996-01-22 00:02:33 +00:00
|
|
|
for read and write, then calls
|
|
|
|
.Fn _thread_sys_fcntl .
|
|
|
|
Before returning,
|
|
|
|
.Fn fcntl
|
|
|
|
unlocks
|
2000-06-23 05:05:44 +00:00

|
|
|
and enables thread rescheduling.
|
1994-05-27 05:00:24 +00:00
|
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
Upon successful completion, the value returned depends on
|
|
|
|
.Fa cmd
|
|
|
|
as follows:
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width F_GETOWNX -offset indent

|
|
|
|
.It Dv F_GETFD
|
|
|
|
Value of flag (only the low-order bit is defined).

|
|
|
|
Value other than -1.
|
|
|
|
.El
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned and
|
|
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
|
|
is set to indicate the error.
