Hi there,<br><br>I did some tests a while ago trying out various read combinations.<br>Testing showed that:<br> - files opened in raw mode get binded to the opening process and that process is the only one that can read/write from it - read attempts by other processes will block (although you can always route the read requests through the process that opened the file);<br>
- files opened in non-raw mode can be access by other processes without any problems;<br> - finally, *the process that opened the file must be alive for read/write operations to succeed*.<br><br>This last one seems like a good argument against trying to read/write outside of the "file owner" process.<br>
<br>I'm attaching the code I used for testing in case someone is interested.<br><br>Cheers,<br>:Davide<br>
