Detailed Description

This group contains the definition of a GWEN_FSLOCK.

The files in this group provide a very simple lock mechanism. When a file is to be locked a lockfile is created exclusively. If this lockfile can not be created exclusively (because it already exists) the file is assumed to be locked. This group can lock files and folders. For folders the lockfile name consists of the foldername plus "/.dir.lck", for files it is the filename plus ".lck". This only works if you have write-access to the folder or, if locking a file, to the folder containing the file to be locked.

Function Documentation

GWENHYWFAR_API void GWEN_FSLock_free GWEN_FSLOCK fl  ) 
 

GWENHYWFAR_API GWEN_FSLOCK_RESULT GWEN_FSLock_Lock GWEN_FSLOCK fl,
int  timeout
 

This function tries to acquire a lock for the given file/folder. It waits if necessary (using GWEN_WaitCallback) while waiting. This function enters and leaves the waitcallback GWEN_FSLOCK_CBID_IO.

Parameters:
fl fslock object
timeout timeout in milliseconds (special values are GWEN_FSLOCK_TIMEOUT_NONE (which does not wait at all) and GWEN_FSLOCK_TIMEOUT_FOREVER (which waits forever).

GWENHYWFAR_API GWEN_FSLOCK* GWEN_FSLock_new const char *  fname,
GWEN_FSLOCK_TYPE  t
 

GWENHYWFAR_API GWEN_FSLOCK_RESULT GWEN_FSLock_Unlock GWEN_FSLOCK fl  ) 
 

This function removes a lock.

Parameters:
fl fslock object
