+ Cygwin extension to fcntl file locking mechanism. By default, fcntl file
+ locks are advisory locks. This works nicely as long as only Cygwin
+ processes interact. If you have the requirement to interact with native
+ Windows applications which use Windows mandatory file locking, your have
+ to use mandatory locking as well. The command
+
+ fcntl (fd, F_LCK_MANDATORY, 1)
+
+ switches subsequent F_GETLK, F_SETLK, F_SETLKW calls to mandatory locking
+ for this file descriptor and subsequently duplicated ones WITHIN THE SAME
+ PROCESS. Note that mandatory locks are NOT inherited by child processes,
+ nor do they survive an execve call. This fully corresponds to Windows
+ mandatory locking semantics. */
