linux系统编程之struct flock 结构体

该结构是在lock.h文件中定义。

lock.h File

 

功能

定义一些文件的锁的选项

Description

The flock structure in the /usr/include/sys/flock.h file, which describes a lock, contains the following fields:

 

l_type	Describes the type of lock. If the value of the Command parameter to the fcntl subroutine is F_SETLK orF_SETLKW, the l_type field indicates the type of lock to be created. Possible values are: F_RDLCK A read lock is requested. F_WRLCK A write lock is requested. F_UNLCK Unlock. An existing lock is to be removed. If the value of the Command parameter to the fcntl subroutine is F_GETLK, the l_type field describes an existing lock. Possible values are: F_RDLCK A conflicting read lock exists. F_WRLCK A conflicting write lock exists. F_UNLCK No conflicting lock exists.
l_whence	Defines the starting offset. The value of this field indicates the point from which the relative offset, the l_startfield, is measured. Possible values are: SEEK_SET The relative offset is measured from the start of the file. SEEK_CUR The relative offset is measured from the current position. SEEK_END The relative offset is measured from the end of the file. These values are defined in the unistd.h file.
l_start	Defines the relative offset in bytes, measured from the starting point in the l_whence field.
l_len	Specifies the number of consecutive bytes to be locked.
l_sysid	Contains the ID of the node that already has a lock placed on the area defined by the fcntl subroutine. This field is returned only when the value of the Command parameter is F_GETLK.
l_pid	Contains the ID of a process that already has a lock placed on the area defined by the fcntl subroutine. This field is returned only when the value of the Command parameter is F_GETLK.
l_vfs	Specifies the file system type of the node identified in the l_sysid field.

 

 

看一下示例吧！

int
waldirlock(Wal *w)
{
    int r;
    int fd;
    struct flock lk;
    char path[PATH_MAX];

    r = snprintf(path, PATH_MAX, "%s/lock", w->dir);
    if (r > PATH_MAX) {
        twarnx("path too long: %s/lock", w->dir);
        return 0;
    }

    fd = open(path, O_WRONLY|O_CREAT, 0600);
    if (fd == -1) {
        twarn("open");
        return 0;
    }

    lk.l_type = F_WRLCK;
    lk.l_whence = SEEK_SET;
    lk.l_start = 0;
    lk.l_len = 0;
    r = fcntl(fd, F_SETLK, &lk);
    if (r) {
        twarn("fcntl");
        return 0;
    }

    // intentionally leak fd, since we never want to close it
    // and we'll never need it again
    return 1;
}

 

struct flock 作为fcntl函数的第三个参数，使用F_SETLK,设置了其参数。
