file locking behaviour

[Damjan Lango]

Hello!

I have a program that uses:

lock.l_type = F_WRLCK;
fcntl(log->handle, F_SETLK, &lock)

the file is then locked also for reads, is that correct behaviour?
I thought that only writing would be locked.
on unix the file stays readable even if using the above code.
