::: I'm under the same impression as Rdm. Is this about appending? Or some kind of record locking? Is it about append in native I/O facilities? I was also trying to understand the rationale behind the table and that the table has been left as somewhat vague. Normally, I would use a table for very specific results/observations and a bullet list for less specific results/observations. We are already seeing variations on the table content - which is fine if that's what's intended. For instance a couple of the solutions cite that they are guaranteed for multitasking, yet I don't see that they are doing anything other than relying on the o/s or library via open/close. --[[User:Dgamey|Dgamey]] 13:38, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
 
::: There is also [http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/filesystems/mandatory-locking.txt mandatory locking], but you don't really want that. It turns out to be a Bad Idea almost all the time since it allows any process to block all others (among various reasons). –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 19:50, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
