Can someone explain, or point me to the right docs to answer the
following
question?

Client "A" has a file "file.txt" cached, and client "B" also has acached
copy of the
file.  User A1 opens the file as does user B1. Now A1 makes a change and
saves, or
closes the altogether.

How does the cached manager handle this?

It seems that the last person the write the file wins, but I wanted to
make sure.
