Aucbvax.2754 fa.unix-wizards utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!unix-wizards Wed Aug 19 13:20:23 1981 proposed lock driver >From mo@LBL-UNIX Wed Aug 19 12:39:01 1981 The lock driver proposed in the code fragment may have problems with the Unix "feature" of not calling close until possibly after you close it. Other schemes like this have added a "lock-breaking" call in the kernel exit() code to insure locks get broken. This means also having to keep track of the lock owner if more than one lock is held. Does the proffered code have this problem? -Mike
