I don't think you'll ever find anyone interested in file locking anymore. Since they're all advisory, anyway, you can just implement them at a higher level in your application. BSD and System V IPC mechanisms already are very good building blocks here for system-scoped locks. -- Brian Fundakowski Feldman \'[ FreeBSD ]''''''''''\ <> [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ The Power to Serve! \ Opinions expressed are my own. \,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,\ _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
