fCreate(3)

💖 fCreate(3) 💖

okay bestie, so this one lives in util/ulocks.h and it's literally just called fCreate — she creates a file lock. that's the whole vibe. slay ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <util/ulocks.h>

NEOERR *fCreate(int *plock, const char *file);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• plock — this is where the lock goes. like, the little spot you're reserving for it to live. 🫶
• file — the path of the file you're using as the lock. yes, that file. the lock file. she's the moment. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what she does is: creates a file lock on the named file file. and then the lock itself gets returned in plock. that's it, that's the whole thing. no cap. ✨

MT-Level: Safe. — so you can use her from multiple threads and she will not betray you. iconic behaviour, honestly. 👑

💜 RETURN VALUE 💜

• plock — gets set to the lock identifier. so when you look in there afterwards, boom, that's your lock id. 🎀
