- Hi. I need lockf(2) in perl. The bible says you can emulate lockf
- using fcntl. Problem is, under SunOS 4.1.1, fcntl'ing F_SETLK appears
- to be broken - it returns EINVAL, which isn't true since I can compile
- and run the same C test program on a decstation without incident.
-
- Okay, so I'm poking Sun with the bug, but in the meantime, I still need
- some nfs-smart file locking.
-
- Anyone out there got something I can use?
-
- Please email me - I can't keep up with news...
-
- Thanks.
