consider using posix locks

Open wwiv opened this issue 7 years ago • 0 comments

looks like the difference in locking on windows and linux comes down to.

by default, on windows we block others from writing to files files open for read. On Linux we only have 2 modes, shared or exclusive locks using flock. So blocking others for write == exclusive lock.

In general, maybe we should use posix locks vs. flock now.
