Synopsis:

#include <sys/pccard.h>

int pccard_lock( pccard_t handle, 
                 int socket, 
                 int index, 
                 int oflag );

Arguments:

handle

The handle returned by pccard_attach().

socket

Contains both the socket number as well as the function within the socket. This is achieved by shifting the function number left 8 bits and ORing it with the socket number. The socket number is zero-based.

index

The window/function number that you want to lock. You can get the window number from the _pccard_info structure (see pccard_info()).

oflag

Created by ORing the values required (e.g. O_RDWR | O_EXCL) for read/write and exclusive access.
