The error code would tell you. If someone else is adding links while you're
trying to delete then the locking will either lock them out, or wait a moment
for them to finish, or fail if a deadlock happened.

I hope so! Still, the prototype does help point out problems and possible
solutions - exploring the dark areas of file system knowledge. Plus it's
useful for speeding up certain operations on BeOS, which doesn't have as
good disk caching (fixed 32MB cache size) as Linux.
