Asked by rdashokraj in Linux Administration

Hi Folks,

I want to know how to lock a file in Linux?  I did a search on this and found commands like flock, lockf, fcntl etc...but didn't get a clear idea about it.

Along with my above question, I want to know how to check whether a file is been locked or not?


Thanks,
