Is it possible using boost::filesystem functions to determine if a file is locked? I have a program which scans a directory for files and I want it to ignore locked files because other process are writing to them. Basically I want to do the following: get the file if (is_locked()) continue else process the file So I just want to know if it is locked. This must work for both Linux and Windows Vista. Has anyone any ideas or example code? Thanks Andrew -- ___________________________________________ Andrew J. P.
