AnswerBy using the sopen() function you can open
a file in shared mode and explicitly deny
reading and writing permissions to any other
program but yours. This task is accomplished by
using the SH_DENYWR shared flag to denote that
your program is going to deny any writing or
reading attempts by other programs.
For example, the following snippet of code shows
a file being opened in shared mode, denying
access to all other files:
/* Note that the sopen() function is not ANSI
compliant... */
fileHandle = sopen( C:DATASETUP.DAT , O_RDWR,
SH_DENYWR);
By issuing this statement, all other programs
are denied access to the SETUP.DAT file. If
another program were to try to open SETUP.DAT
for reading or writing, it would receive an
EACCES error code, denoting that access is
denied to the file.
