文件 Advisory Lock 笔记（Linux）

                     

贡献者： 待更新

　　 如果希望一个文件一次之被一个进程写入，且进程因任何原因中断时锁会自动释放，那么可以用 Advisory Lock（咨询锁/顾问锁），该锁由系统管理，所以即使进程崩溃也会解锁。

    // create it if it doesn't exist

    if (fd == -1) {
        std::cerr << "Error opening file: "
            << strerror(errno) << std::endl;
        return 1;
    }

    lock.l_whence = SEEK_SET;
    lock.l_start = 0;  // Start of the file

    // Try to acquire the write lock
    if (fcntl(fd, F_SETLK, &lock) == -1) {
        std::cerr << "Unable to lock file: "
            << strerror(errno) << std::endl;
        close(fd);
