Are there public domain versions of the routines that perform the functions of lockf anf flock? I realize that both lockf and flock are kernel routines; I'm not looking to rebuild my kernel. I am looking to build some applications that require the functionality provided by lockf and flock and it should be possible (according to some, Mark Rochkind among them, even preferrable) to build this functionality into the application itself. Surely someone has done this in some PD dbms system, for example. I hate to re-invent the wheel, and I sure that the code is not trivial. Any leads would be most appreciated!
