Hi Dave,

The environment variable is checked at runtime when the file is opened.

We check for the five-character string "FALSE" (case-sensitive). No other 
false-y value will work.

Sorry, I am confused about the meaning of "FALSE" in this context.  Is that 
actual setting the five-character string "FALSE", or the digit "0"?  Thanks for 
your help.

Dana,

Is HDF5_USE_FILE_LOCKING applied at configure time, build time, or run time?

Hi all,

Sorry I've missed most of this discussion, but HDF5 1.10.1 checks an 
environment variable that you can use to disable file locking 
(HDF5_USE_FILE_LOCKING). Setting this to "FALSE" disables all file lock calls.
