SPT_UNLOCKFILE(2) OSS System Calls Reference Manual
• read the file, its read is processed.
Transaction Management Facility (TMF) and SPT_UNLOCKFILE()
If the current transaction modifies a file audited by TMF, locks on the file are
released only when TMF ends or aborts the transaction. In other words, a locked
audited file that the current transaction modified is unlocked during
SPT_ENDTRANSACTION() or SPT_ABORTTRANSACTION() processing
for that file. You can use the SPT_UNLOCKFILE() function to unlock an
unmodified audited record.
Use on OSS Objects
This procedure operates only on Guardian objects. If an OSS file is specified, Guardian file-
system error 2 occurs.
RETURN VALUES
The SPT_UNLOCKFILE() function returns 0 (zero) upon successful completion. Otherwise,
this function returns a nonzero Guardian file-system error number that indicates the outcome of
the operation.
For information about Guardian file-system error numbers, see the Guardian Procedure Errors
and Messages Manual.
ERRORS
None. This function does not set the errno variable.
