Abstract
A computer system having a kernel interface that provides a file lock generation system for generating file interval locks and granting simultaneous access to these locks to application programs requesting access to file objects or portions thereof and provides a common interface to operations upon those objects. An interval is a starting location and length and the locking mechanism grants access to non-overlapping intervals independently.
