File locking issues

Hello, Since we have to pass an opened file handle to flock(), if the file is closed with a pending lock, is that lock freed? If I call fpassthru() the file is implicitly closed. In that case would any pending locks be freed? What about when the script exits? Would any pending locks be freed even when PHP is running as Apache module and the script exits with normal or syntax error exit (the Apache process is not killed)?
