Locks ===== A lock structure shows you, that a program reads from or perhaps write into a file or a directory. With this type of structure the system prevents, that a file will be deleted while another program gets some data from it. Column items ------------ `Access' Here you can see the type of access. This could be `READ', `WRITE' or `OWN'. `OWN' stands for a lock `Scout' created to get the elements of this list. `Path' Path of the file or directory Actions ------- `Update' The list of `Locks' will be updated. `Print' This function allows you to send the list of `Locks' to printer or a selected file. `Remove' A lock will be removed through dos.library's `UnLock()' function. `Pattern' If you give `Scout' a pattern, only the locks with a matching path will be shown. `Exit' The `Locks' window will be closed.
