16 File Locking.
With locking disabled (if gdbm_open
was called with ‘GDBM_NOLOCK’),
the user may want to perform their own file locking on the database file
in order to prevent multiple writers operating on the same file
simultaneously.
In order to support this, the gdbm_fdesc
routine is provided.
- gdbm interface: int gdbm_fdesc (GDBM_FILE dbf)
Returns the file descriptor of the database dbf. This value can be used as an argument to
flock
,lockf
or similar calls.
