427 *
428 * File locking general rules:
429 *
430 * Region to lock or unlock can be located beyond the end of file, this can be used for
431 * growing files.
432 * Read (or Shared) locks can be acquired held by an unlimited number of processes at the
433 * same time, but a Write (or Exclusive) lock can only be acquired by one process, and
434 * cannot coexist with a Shared lock. To acquire a Read lock, a process must wait until
435 * there are no processes holding any Write locks. To acquire a Write lock, a process must
436 * wait until there are no processes holding either kind of lock.
437 * By default, RTFileLock and RTFileChangeLock calls returns error immediately if the lock
438 * can't be acquired due to conflict with other locks, however they can be called in wait mode.
439 *
440 * Differences in implementation:
441 *
442 * Win32, OS/2: Locking is mandatory, since locks are enforced by the operating system.
443 * I.e. when file region is locked in Read mode, any write in it will fail; in case of Write
444 * lock - region can be readed and writed only by lock's owner.
445 *
446 * Win32: File size change (RTFileSetSize) is not controlled by locking at all (!) in the
447 * operation system. Also see comments to RTFileChangeLock API call.
448 *
449 * Linux/Posix: By default locks in Unixes are advisory. This means that cooperating processes
450 * may use locks to coordonate access to a file between themselves, but programs are also free
451 * to ignore locks and access the file in any way they choose to.
452 *
