//  * Within a process, locking the same file (by the same or new handle)
//    will fail.
// POSIX-specific semantics:
//  * Locks are advisory only.
//  * Within a process, locking the same file (by the same or new handle)
//    will succeed.
//  * Closing any descriptor on a given file releases the lock.
