Atomic File Operations Using File Lock

The file module has functions lock files across several operations that are almost exact equivalents to POSIX API functions (see Listing - File Module Function and Listing - POSIX API Equivalent); the primary difference is the advantage of valuable return error codes to the application.

Listing - File Module Function

void FSFile_LockGet    (FS_FILE *p_file,
                        FS_ERR  *p_err);
void FSFile_LockAccept (FS_FILE *p_file,
                        FS_ERR  *p_err);
void FSFile_LockSet    (FS_FILE *p_file,
                        FS_ERR  *p_err);

Listing - POSIX API Equivalent

void fs_flockfile    (FS_FILE *file);

int  fs_ftrylockfile (FS_FILE *file);

void fs_funlockfile  (FS_FILE *file);
