<description>
	<para>This enables or disables the honoring of 
	the <parameter moreinfo="none">share modes</parameter> during a file open. These 
	modes are used by clients to gain exclusive read or write access 
	to a file.</para>

	<para>These open modes are not directly supported by UNIX, so
	they are simulated using shared memory, or lock files if your 
	UNIX doesn't support shared memory (almost all do).</para>

	<para>The share modes that are enabled by this option are 
	<constant>DENY_DOS</constant>, <constant>DENY_ALL</constant>,
	<constant>DENY_READ</constant>, <constant>DENY_WRITE</constant>,
	<constant>DENY_NONE</constant> and <constant>DENY_FCB</constant>.
	</para>

	<para>This option gives full share compatibility and enabled 
	by default.</para>

	<para>You should <emphasis>NEVER</emphasis> turn this parameter 
	off as many Windows applications will break if you do so.</para>
