Accessing Files Programmer's Guide

Chapter 12  Sharing a File 

Accessing and controlling a file that is open only to you is a relatively
simple matter.  When your file is being accessed by several users
simultaneously, each user must be aware of special considerations for
this shared file.  As you read this chapter, keep these considerations in
mind:

   *   How will others be allowed concurrent access to your file?

   *   Will the concurrent access need special management?


NOTE  In most cases, the following discussions pertain only to
      non-message files.  For more information about using message files;
      refer to the Interprocess Communication Programmer's Guide  
      (32650-90019).
