30 /**
31  * A token representing a lock on a region of a file.
32  *
33  * <p> A file-lock object is created each time a lock is acquired on a file via
34  * one of the {@link FileChannel#lock(long,long,boolean) lock} or {@link
35  * FileChannel#tryLock(long,long,boolean) tryLock} methods of the
36  * {@link FileChannel} class
37  *
38  * <p> A file-lock object is initially valid.  It remains valid until the lock
39  * is released by invoking the {@link #release release} method, by closing the
40  * channel that was used to acquire it, or by the termination of the Java
41  * virtual machine, whichever comes first.  The validity of a lock may be
42  * tested by invoking its {@link #isValid isValid} method.
43  *
44  * <p> A file lock is either <i>exclusive</i> or <i>shared</i>.  A shared lock
45  * prevents other concurrently-running programs from acquiring an overlapping
46  * exclusive lock, but does allow them to acquire overlapping shared locks.  An
47  * exclusive lock prevents other programs from acquiring an overlapping lock of
48  * either type.  Once it is released, a lock has no further effect on the locks
49  * that may be acquired by other programs.
50  *
51  * <p> Whether a lock is exclusive or shared may be determined by invoking its
52  * {@link #isShared isShared} method.  Some platforms do not support shared
53  * locks, in which case a request for a shared lock is automatically converted
54  * into a request for an exclusive lock.
55  *
56  * <p> The locks held on a particular file by a single Java virtual machine do
57  * not overlap.  The {@link #overlaps overlaps} method may be used to test
58  * whether a candidate lock range overlaps an existing lock.
59  *
60  * <p> A file-lock object records the file channel upon whose file the lock is
61  * held, the type and validity of the lock, and the position and size of the
62  * locked region.  Only the validity of a lock is subject to change over time;
63  * all other aspects of a lock's state are immutable.
64  *
65  * <p> File locks are held on behalf of the entire Java virtual machine.
66  * They are not suitable for controlling access to a file by multiple
67  * threads within the same virtual machine.
68  *
69  * <p> File-lock objects are safe for use by multiple concurrent threads.
70  *
71  *
72  * <a name="pdep"><h4> Platform dependencies </h4></a>
73  *
74  * <p> This file-locking API is intended to map directly to the native locking
75  * facility of the underlying operating system.  Thus the locks held on a file
76  * should be visible to all programs that have access to the file, regardless
77  * of the language in which those programs are written.
78  *
79  * <p> Whether or not a lock actually prevents another program from accessing
80  * the content of the locked region is system-dependent and therefore
81  * unspecified.  The native file-locking facilities of some systems are merely
82  * <i>advisory</i>, meaning that programs must cooperatively observe a known
83  * locking protocol in order to guarantee data integrity.  On other systems
84  * native file locks are <i>mandatory</i>, meaning that if one program locks a
85  * region of a file then other programs are actually prevented from accessing
86  * that region in a way that would violate the lock.  On yet other systems,
87  * whether native file locks are advisory or mandatory is configurable on a
88  * per-file basis.  To ensure consistent and correct behavior across platforms,
89  * it is strongly recommended that the locks provided by this API be used as if
90  * they were advisory locks.
91  *
92  * <p> On some systems, acquiring a mandatory lock on a region of a file
93  * prevents that region from being {@link java.nio.channels.FileChannel#map
94  * <i>mapped into memory</i>}, and vice versa.  Programs that combine
95  * locking and mapping should be prepared for this combination to fail.
96  *
97  * <p> On some systems, closing a channel releases all locks held by the Java
98  * virtual machine on the underlying file regardless of whether the locks were
99  * acquired via that channel or via another channel open on the same file.  It
100  * is strongly recommended that, within a program, a unique channel be used to
101  * acquire all locks on any given file.
102  *
103  * <p> Some network filesystems permit file locking to be used with
104  * memory-mapped files only when the locked regions are page-aligned and a
105  * whole multiple of the underlying hardware's page size.  Some network
106  * filesystems do not implement file locks on regions that extend past a
107  * certain position, often 2<sup>30</sup> or 2<sup>31</sup>.  In general, great
108  * care should be taken when locking files that reside on network filesystems.
