Good evening, friends
I'm learning with a book: Programming Linux by Kurt Wall (Prentice Hall)
The code below could run in two windows (./lockit /tmp/foo in both for example). There is not problem with the read block (first byte) but when one, apply the write block while in the other is with the read block yet, the error message is:
block write already by -1075043608
and appear every time you press a key (instead of show the pid of the proccess)
But, even you running the program in a window only, happens the same.
I don't get to understand it.
Can you help to correct the code?
Thanks.

Sorry, i had an error.
Deleting line --> close(fd); into /* Desbloqueo */
Adding getchar(); close(fd) after printf("PID %d bloqueado para escritura %s\n", getpid(), argv[1]);
Sorry again.
