CRTL, funlockfile

|
Unlocks a stdio stream.
This function is supported on OpenVMS Integrity servers and
Alpha only.
Format
#include <stdio.h>
void funlockfile (FILE *file_ptr);
file_ptr
A file pointer.
The funlockfile function unlocks a stdio stream, causing the
thread that had been holding the lock to relinquish exclusive use
of the stream.
File pointers passed are assumed to be valid; flockfile will
perform locking even on invalid file pointers. Also, the
funlockfile function will not fail if the calling thread does
not own a lock on the file pointer passed.
Matching flockfile and funlockfile calls can be nested. If the
stream has been locked recursively, it will remain locked until
the last matching funlockfile is called.
All C RTL file-pointer I/O functions lock their file pointers as
if calling flockfile and funlockfile.
