Q: 

Advisory locking interface for c in windows.

Hi all,

I work on linux. Iam writing a locking interface.

In linux the default locking is advisory locking where as in windows it is mandatory locking with LOCKFILE interface. I want a advisory locking interface in windows.

A: 

Why not look at how cygwin does it, or simply use cygwin? Another possibility would be using the creation and removal of lock files as locks.
