How do you open a file for shared writing in C?-CodePudding

I only found how to do it in C which is somthing like CreateFile(.... FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE, ....) but found nothing on how to do it in C.

CodePudding user response：

What you are asking for is not possible in plain ISO C, which only offers the function fopen.

However, on Microsoft Windows, you can call the platform-specific function CreateFile, which offers this feature as an extension. You can use this function also when using the C programming language. It is not restricted to C . The Microsoft documentation of the Windows API does not distinguish between C and C , so when it refers to C , it also means C.
