/**
 * A token representing a lock on a region of a file.
 *
 * <p> A file-lock object is created each time a lock is acquired on a file via
 * one of the {@link FileChannel#lock(long,long,boolean) lock} or {@link
 * FileChannel#tryLock(long,long,boolean) tryLock} methods of the
 * {@link FileChannel} class, or the {@link
 * AsynchronousFileChannel#lock(long,long,boolean,Object,CompletionHandler) lock}
 * or {@link AsynchronousFileChannel#tryLock(long,long,boolean) tryLock}
 * methods of the {@link AsynchronousFileChannel} class.
 *
 * <p> A file-lock object is initially valid.  It remains valid until the lock
 * is released by invoking the {@link #release release} method, by closing the
 * channel that was used to acquire it, or by the termination of the Java
 * virtual machine, whichever comes first.  The validity of a lock may be
 * tested by invoking its {@link #isValid isValid} method.
 *
 * <p> A file lock is either exclusive or shared.  A shared lock
 * prevents other concurrently-running programs from acquiring an overlapping
 * exclusive lock, but does allow them to acquire overlapping shared locks.  An
 * exclusive lock prevents other programs from acquiring an overlapping lock of
 * either type.  Once it is released, a lock has no further effect on the locks
 * that may be acquired by other programs.
 *
 * <p> Whether a lock is exclusive or shared may be determined by invoking its
 * {@link #isShared isShared} method.  Some platforms do not support shared
 * locks, in which case a request for a shared lock is automatically converted
 * into a request for an exclusive lock.
 *
 * <p> The locks held on a particular file by a single Java virtual machine do
 * not overlap.  The {@link #overlaps overlaps} method may be used to test
 * whether a candidate lock range overlaps an existing lock.
 *
 * <p> A file-lock object records the file channel upon whose file the lock is
 * held, the type and validity of the lock, and the position and size of the
 * locked region.  Only the validity of a lock is subject to change over time;
 * all other aspects of a lock's state are immutable.
 *
 * <p> File locks are held on behalf of the entire Java virtual machine.
 * They are not suitable for controlling access to a file by multiple
 * threads within the same virtual machine.
 *
 * <p> File-lock objects are safe for use by multiple concurrent threads.

Platform dependencies

* * <p> This file-locking API is intended to map directly to the native locking * facility of the underlying operating system. Thus the locks held on a file * should be visible to all programs that have access to the file, regardless * of the language in which those programs are written. * * <p> Whether or not a lock actually prevents another program from accessing * the content of the locked region is system-dependent and therefore * unspecified. The native file-locking facilities of some systems are merely * <i>advisory, meaning that programs must cooperatively observe a known * locking protocol in order to guarantee data integrity. On other systems * native file locks are <i>mandatory, meaning that if one program locks a * region of a file then other programs are actually prevented from accessing * that region in a way that would violate the lock. On yet other systems, * whether native file locks are advisory or mandatory is configurable on a * per-file basis. To ensure consistent and correct behavior across platforms, * it is strongly recommended that the locks provided by this API be used as if * they were advisory locks. * * <p> On some systems, acquiring a mandatory lock on a region of a file * prevents that region from being {@link java.nio.channels.FileChannel#map * <i>mapped into memory}, and vice versa. Programs that combine * locking and mapping should be prepared for this combination to fail. * * <p> On some systems, closing a channel releases all locks held by the Java * virtual machine on the underlying file regardless of whether the locks were * acquired via that channel or via another channel open on the same file. It * is strongly recommended that, within a program, a unique channel be used to * acquire all locks on any given file. * * <p> Some network filesystems permit file locking to be used with * memory-mapped files only when the locked regions are page-aligned and a * whole multiple of the underlying hardware's page size. Some network * filesystems do not implement file locks on regions that extend past a * certain position, often 2<sup>30 or 231. In general, great * care should be taken when locking files that reside on network filesystems. * * * @author Mark Reinhold * @author JSR-51 Expert Group * @since 1.4 */ public abstract class FileLock implements AutoCloseable { private final Channel channel; private final long position; private final long size; private final boolean shared; /** * Initializes a new instance of this class. * * @param channel * The file channel upon whose file this lock is held * * @param position * The position within the file at which the locked region starts; * must be non-negative * * @param size * The size of the locked region; must be non-negative, and the sum * <tt>position + size must be non-negative * * @param shared * <tt>true if this lock is shared, * <tt>false if it is exclusive * * @throws IllegalArgumentException * If the preconditions on the parameters do not hold */ protected FileLock(FileChannel channel, long position, long size, boolean shared) { if (position < 0) throw new IllegalArgumentException("Negative position"); if (size < 0) throw new IllegalArgumentException("Negative size"); if (position + size < 0) throw new IllegalArgumentException("Negative position + size"); this.channel = channel; this.position = position; this.size = size; this.shared = shared; } /** * Initializes a new instance of this class. * * @param channel * The channel upon whose file this lock is held * * @param position * The position within the file at which the locked region starts; * must be non-negative * * @param size * The size of the locked region; must be non-negative, and the sum * <tt>position + size must be non-negative * * @param shared * <tt>true if this lock is shared, * <tt>false if it is exclusive * * @throws IllegalArgumentException * If the preconditions on the parameters do not hold * * @since 1.7 */ protected FileLock(AsynchronousFileChannel channel, long position, long size, boolean shared) { if (position < 0) throw new IllegalArgumentException("Negative position"); if (size < 0) throw new IllegalArgumentException("Negative size"); if (position + size < 0) throw new IllegalArgumentException("Negative position + size"); this.channel = channel; this.position = position; this.size = size; this.shared = shared; } /** * Returns the file channel upon whose file this lock was acquired. * * <p> This method has been superseded by the {@link #acquiredBy acquiredBy} * method. * * @return The file channel, or {@code null} if the file lock was not * acquired by a file channel. */ public final FileChannel channel() { return (channel instanceof FileChannel) ?
