Hi all,
I have following code:
use 5.004'
use Fcntl ':flock';
sub check_file_stat us
{
$attempt_lock = 0;
$max_attempts = 3;
open(in_file, "$check_in_file _name");
while (!flock(in_file , LOCK_EX) && $attemp_lock < $max_attempts)
{
sleep(5);
}
close(in_file);
}
I cannot get the exlusive lock for the $check_in_file_ name variable
file name. Any idea? How should I correct my mistake? 3 2982 hs*****@usa.com (Hon Seng Phuah) wrote in message news:<38******* *************** ****@posting.go ogle.com>... Hi all,

tried it with perl 5.6.0, no problemo, note flock does not
work for network files (e.g. files retrieved via nfs mount point).
see perldoc -f flock
use 5.004;
use Fcntl ':flock';
sub check_file_stat us
{
$attempt_lock = 0;
$max_attempts = 3;
my $check_in_file_ name = 'file1.txt';
open(in_file, "<$check_in_fil e_name")||print "$check_in_file _name:$!\n";
while (!flock(in_file , LOCK_EX) && $attemp_lock < $max_attempts)
{
print "lock attempt $!\n";
sleep(5);
$attemp_lock++;
}
close(in_file);
}
check_file_stat us();
If I change the open to be write. the flock return 1. Why open read
file cannot use exclusive lock like my case below? Does anyone have
any idea?

To prevent denial of service attacks. (It's an OS feature, nothing to
do with Perl).
Some OSs go futher and disallow taking a shared lock if you have the
file open write-only, which, IMNSHO is just plain dumb. while (!flock(in_file , LOCK_EX) && $attemp_lock < $max_attempts) { sleep(5); }
You have not specified LOCK_NB. There's no point having a re-try
loop. If a blocking flock() fails it is usually because the
filehandle (or the file) in question is of a type that doesn't support
the type of locking locking you are asking for. This isn't something
that will change in 5 seconds.
Oh, and BTW you forgot to increment your counter.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
