LockFile
The LockFile function locks a region in an open file. Locking a region prevents other
processes from accessing the region.
BOOL LockFile(
HANDLE hFile,
| // handle of file to lock
| DWORD dwFileOffsetLow,
| // low-order word of lock region offset
| DWORD dwFileOffsetHigh,
| // high-order word of lock region offset
| DWORD nNumberOfBytesToLockLow,
| // low-order word of length to lock
| DWORD nNumberOfBytesToLockHigh
| // high-order word of length to lock
| );
|
|
Parameters
hFile
Identifies the file with a region to be locked. The file handle must have been
created with GENERIC_READ or GENERIC_WRITE access to the file (or both).
dwFileOffsetLow
Specifies the low-order word of the starting byte offset in the file where the
lock should begin.
dwFileOffsetHigh
Specifies the high-order word of the starting byte offset in the file where
the lock should begin.
nNumberOfBytesToLockLow
Specifies the low-order word of the length of the byte range to be locked.
nNumberOfBytesToLockHigh
Specifies the high-order word of the length of the byte range to be locked.
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error
information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
Locking a region of a file gives the locking process exclusive access to the
specified region. File locks are not inherited by processes created by the
locking process.
Locking a region of a file denies all other processes both read and write
access to the specified region. Locking a region that goes beyond the current
end-of-file position is not an error.
Locks may not overlap an existing locked region of the file.
The UnlockFile function unlocks a file region locked by LockFile.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
