Ooops... What I meant to say was:
One interesting thing I noticed about implementing lockf() on top of SysV
fcntl() file locking is that (it appears) lockf() requires that the file
^^^^^
be opened with write permission even for read locking. /usr/group lockf()
^^^^^^^^^^
does not require this.
I'm I correctly stating the situation? If so, is this regarded as a
deficiency in SysV's lockf()?
