Yup, me again with another dumb programming question....

I seem to be running in to problems when opeing up a device special file with
either O_SHLOCK or O_EXLOCK. I get an error back (45) that the operation
is not supported. 

My question, then, is, how can I lock, lets say a serial port, without having
to go the route of lock-file creation, as many applications ignore these
files anyhow?
