IBM® Informix® C-ISAM™: How do you open a file in exclusive mode ?
Answer
Certain functions require that the file be open in exclusive mode so that only your program can access the file. You do this by specifying the exclusive lock option, ISEXCLLOCK, along with the access mode, as shown in this C code example:
- fd = isopen("employee",ISEXCLLOCK+ISINOUT);
