# unlock abstract method

Future<RandomAccessFile> unlock([

1. int start = 0,
2. int end = -1

])

Unlocks the file or part of the file.

Unlocks the byte range from `start` to `end` of the file, with the byte at position `end` not included. If no arguments are specified, the full file is unlocked, If only `start` is specified the file is unlocked from byte position `start` to the end of the file.

NOTE file locking does have slight differences in behavior across platforms:

See lock for more details.

## Implementation

    Future<RandomAccessFile> unlock([int start = 0, int end = -1]);
