The dio_fcntl() function performs the
operation specified by cmd on the file
descriptor fd. Some commands require
additional arguments args to be supplied.
Note: This function is not
implemented on Windows platforms.
F_SETLK - Lock is set or cleared. If the lock
is held by someone else dio_fcntl() returns
-1.
F_SETLKW - like F_SETLK,
but in case the lock is held by someone else,
dio_fcntl() waits until the lock is released.
F_GETLK - dio_fcntl()
returns an associative array (as described above) if someone else
prevents lock. If there is no obstruction key "type" will set
to F_UNLCK.
F_DUPFD - finds the lowest numbered available
file descriptor greater than or equal to args
and returns them.
F_SETFL - Sets the file descriptors flags to
the value specified by args, which can be
O_APPEND, O_NONBLOCK or
O_ASYNC. To use O_ASYNC
you will need to use the PCNTL
extension.
args
args is an associative array, when
cmd is F_SETLK or
F_SETLLW, with the following keys:
"start" - offset where lock begins
"length" - size of locked area. zero means to end of file
"wenth" - Where l_start is relative to: can be
SEEK_SET,
SEEK_END and SEEK_CUR
"type" - type of lock: can be F_RDLCK (read
lock), F_WRLCK (write lock) or
F_UNLCK (unlock)
Return Values
Returns the result of the C call.
Examples
Example 1. Setting and clearing a lock
<?php
$fd = dio_open('/dev/ttyS0', O_RDWR);
if (dio_fcntl($fd, F_SETLK, Array("type"=>F_WRLCK)) == -1) { // the file descriptor appears locked echo "The lock can not be cleared. It is held by someone else."; } else { echo "Lock succesfully set/cleared"; }
