Is node-dbf a safe library to use to read from a .dbf file that is maybe being read from?

[Andrew Leer]

Is it safe to use node-dbf with node.js to read from a .dbf file when other are possibly writing to it? I don't understand the locking mechanisms of the dbf file based format considering it doesn't run on a server, and so I was just wondering if anyone knew about this.

Thank you,
