Hi,

Is there a way to use Boost.Filesystem to lock file and directories and also set file and directory permissions? From the documentation there appears to be none, so can this feature be added to the next version?

There is no locking now. It has been on my wish list for a long time, but more pressing needs keep pushing locking aside. Care to propose an interface that will work for both POSIX and Windows? --Beman
