Hi,

AFAIK the open() API does return immediately with an error, if the file could not be opened - like if it is already open in an non-shareable open-mode.

Regards,
Daniel

Hi All



If i run this code, and the "stmf" is opened from another job, is there any
wait time after that, i receive error, or the code wait for ever or until
the "stmf" is not more opened from other job ???



dou fd>=0 or err<>EBUSY;

sleep(1);

fd = open(stmf: O_RDWR + O_SHARE_NONE);

p_err = sys_errno();
