here's the situation:
i have a file, and i want to open it only when no other process is
writing to it. but i don't have control over the possibly writing
process, so i can't do advisory or mandatory locking.
basically, i want to treat a file received by scp only after the
download is complete.
of course i can write the file to /tmp or somewhere and then mv it to
its destination directory when it's complete. but i was wondering if
there's a more elegant soultion.
is there anything i can do with stat or fcntl, or something along these
lines?
