UnlockFileEx
The UnlockFileEx function unlocks a previously locked byte range in an open file.
BOOL UnlockFileEx(
HANDLE hFile,
| // handle of file to unlock
| DWORD dwReserved,
| // reserved, must be set to zero
| DWORD nNumberOfBytesToUnlockLow,
| // low order 32-bits of length to unlock
| DWORD nNumberOfBytesToUnlockHigh,
| // high order 32-bits of length to unlock
| LPOVERLAPPED lpOverlapped
| // addr. of struct. with unlock region start offset
| );
|
|
Parameters
hFile
Identifies an open handle to a file that is to have an existing locked region
unlocked. The handle must have been created with either GENERIC_READ or
GENERIC_WRITE access to the file.
dwReserved
Reserved parameter; must be zero.
nNumberOfBytesToUnlockLow
Specifies the low-order 32-bits of the length of the byte range to unlock.
nNumberOfBytesToUnlockHigh
Specifies the high-order 32-bits of the length of the byte range to unlock.
lpOverlapped
Points to an OVERLAPPED structure that the function uses with the unlocking request. This structure
contains the file offset of the beginning of the unlock range.
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero or NULL. To get extended error
information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
Unlocking a region of a file releases a previously acquired lock on a file.
The region to unlock must correspond exactly to an existing locked region. Two
adjacent regions of a file can not be locked separately and then unlocked using a
single region that spans both locked regions.
If a process terminates with a portion of a file locked or closes a file that
has outstanding locks, the behavior is not specified.

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 » |
