I have opened volume USB device and locked using CreateFile() and DeviceIoControl() in Windows.

I want same functionality on Linux/Unix system. I am new to Unix So How to get it?

My code for Windows :

HANDLE handle = CreateFile(L"\\\\.\\F:",          // F: drive to open
    GENERIC_READ,                // no access to the drive
    FILE_SHARE_READ, // share mode
    NULL,             // default security attributes
    OPEN_EXISTING,    // disposition
    0x1,                // file attributes
    NULL);            // do not copy file attributes

DWORD lpBytesReturned;

if (DeviceIoControl(handle, FSCTL_LOCK_VOLUME, NULL, 0, NULL, 0, &lpBytesReturned, (LPOVERLAPPED)NULL)){
        printf("\n  Lock SUCCESS !\n");
    }
else {
    printf("\n  Lock Failed !\n");
}

Langage : c/c++

platform: Linux/Unix

Thanks in Advance.
