Subject: Does mandatory locking need to be set when the file is locked?
Date: Mon, 15 Dec 2003 07:57:57 +0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200312150757.57021.theman@josephdwagner.info> (raw)
I'm writing a program that changes the permissions on a file to enable
mandatory locking, does its thing to the file, and then resets the
permissions.
Do do the mandatory locking permissions have to be set before the lock is
set? Or will the kernel dynamically recognize the change on the fly so that
an active lock becomes mandatory?
TIA.
