# `_nolock` functions

The `_nolock` functions are versions of I/O functions that don't perform any locking. They're provided for users requiring maximum performance. For more information, see [Multithreaded libraries performance](./multithreaded-libraries-performance.md).
The `_nolock` functions are versions of I/O functions that don't perform any locking. They're provided for users requiring maximum performance. For more information, see [Multithreaded libraries performance](multithreaded-libraries-performance.md).

Use _nolock functions only if your program is truly single-threaded or if it does its own locking.
