$SYNTAX$
hb_FLock( <nHandle>, <nOffset>, <nBytes> [, <nType ] )
--> <lSuccess>
$ARGUMENTS$
<nHandle> Dos file handle
set> Offset of the first byte of the region to be locked.
<nBytes> Number of bytes to be locked.
e> The type (read or write) of lock requested.
$RETURNS$
<lSuccess> .T. if the lock was obtained, else .F.
$DESCRIPTION$
This function attempts to lock a region of the file whose file handle
is <nHandle>. This is a low level file function. To lock Harbour
data files use either the FLock() or RLock() function.
The value of <nHandle> is obtained from either a call to the FOpen()
or the FCreate() function.
<nOffset> is the offset (from the beginning of the file) to the first
of the region to be locked. (Offsets from the current position
nd of file are not currently supported.)
<nBytes> is the length of the region to be locked in bytes.
e> is the type of lock requested. There are two types of locks:
sive write locks ( <nType> = 0x0000 ) - the default, and shared
locks( <nType> = 0x0100 ). Additionally you can specify a
ing version of this function (that is it won't return until
r an error has occurred or the lock has been obtained) by
g Ox0200 to the above values.

This function attempts to unlock a region of the file whose file
handle is <nHandle>. This is a low level file function. To
unlock Harbour data files use the dbUnlock() function.
The value of <nHandle> is obtained from either a call to the FOpen()
or the FCreate() function.
<nOffset> is the offset (from the beginning of the file) to the first
of the region to be unlocked. (Offsets from the current position
