Each file actually has a lock count associated with it. This allows nested calls by a task to acquire a file lock; each of those calls must be matched with a call to fs_funlockfile(). Listing - Example file lock usage shows how to use the file lock functionsthe file lock functions can be used.

Panel
(1) `fs_flockfile()` will block the calling task until the file is available. If the task must write to the file only if no other task is currently accessing it, the non-blocking function `fs_funlockfile()` can be used.
