I'm using PHP and I've read that loo...

After wrestling with PHP source for a half an hour, I gave up. :P The question is - what system call does the PHP flock() function call boil down to on a Gentoo Linux system? I'm having some issues with it (like block-for-30-seconds-in-every-one-of-20-loop-iterations kind of issues) and I would like to know why that is so. ...
