{- Tries to take an exclusive lock on a file. Fails if another process has
 - a shared or exclusive lock.
 -
 - Note that exclusive locking also prevents the file from being opened for
 - read or write by any other process. So for advisory locking of a file's
 - content, a separate LockFile should be used. -}

{- Windows considers just opening a file enough to lock it. This will
 - create the LockFile if it does not already exist.
 -
 - Will fail if the file is already open with an incompatible ShareMode.
 - Note that this may happen if an unrelated process, such as a virus
 - scanner, even looks at the file. See Microsoft KnowledgeBase article 316609
 -
 - Note that createFile busy-waits to try to avoid failing when some other
 - process briefly has a file open. But that would make this busy-wait
 - whenever the file is actually locked, for a rather long period of time. 
 - Thus, the use of c_CreateFile.
 -
 - Also, passing Nothing for SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES ensures that the lock file
 - is not inherited by any child process.
