move_uploaded_file locks?

Can't find this in the PHP docs, so: does anyone know whether 
move_uploaded_file locks the target file during the process?

If move_uploaded_file does a rename within the same filesystem this isn't an 
issue (on unix, anyway, the O/S just reassigns inodes rather than copying 
data).  But if it does a copy instead, or if it has to rename across 
filesystems, any process that tries to read or write the file before 
move_uploaded_file completes could be munging things.
