Im talking about file locking during deleting, and moving files. Is it possible to perform file locking for these file operations? If so, can you provide psuedo code. Thanks
Sure... just acquire the exclusive lock like you would for writing to a file, but do the delete / move instead. Your apps must actually try to flock before *every* file operation though if you expect the locking system to work.
