Hi,

The following question specifically applies to DJGPP:
Can I expect that when I manage to open a file for writing with fopen,
that writing is inhibited by all other accesses to this file? Or should
I lock the file, but how do I do this portably?
The same question for open.

Does the ANSI/POSIX standard enforce here something? Does DJGPP comply?
