I am developing an application using C

I am facing a problem , when a file is opened by one process either in
read/write mode using open function , at the same time the other
process can delete the same file using unlink function.

What i want is that if a file is opened by one process either for
reading/writing it should not be deleted or even can be opened by
other process(i.e open should fail). Anyone knows, how it can
achieved.

The purpose is that i want to open a file in exclusive mode.

Thanks in adavance
