Can anybody advise me on how to, from an OS/400-native application, get an
exclusive lock on a stream file?

For a while, I was looking at the locking functions of the "fcntl()"
UNIX-type API, but then I noticed that they (1) only produce advisory,
rather than mandatory, locks, and (2) don't persist while the file isn't
open.

Why would you want the lock to persist when the file isn't open? Getting rid of the lock sounds like a good thing to me.
