where fcntl saves locking information - linux

Question

I wonder to understand where fcntl c++ function saves information about locked files. I know that it saves some information on /proc/locks , but fcntl identify lock even if it locked by another host
In my first host I locked some file By F_WRLCK.
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include<iostream>
main() {
int fd;
struct flock lock;
lock.l_type=F_WRLCK;
lock.l_start=0;
lock.l_whence= SEEK_SET;
lock.l_len=0;
printf("open %d\n",fd=open("/u/embedit/places/scratch/gtevos/ts16nxq42p11assrl16kaa03/ts16nxq42p11assrl16kaa.cpj", O_RDWR ));
int rc = fcntl(fd, F_SETLK, &lock);
std::cout<<rc<<std::endl;
std::cin>>fd;
}
When I am traying to lock the same file on my second host by F_RDONLY it doesn't work.
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include<iostream>
main() {
int fd;
struct flock lock;
lock.l_type=F_RDLCK;
lock.l_start=0;
lock.l_whence= SEEK_SET;
lock.l_len=0;
printf("open %d\n",fd=open("/u/embedit/places/scratch/gtevos/ts16nxq42p11assrl16kaa03/ts16nxq42p11assrl16kaa.cpj", O_RDONLY ));
int rc = fcntl(fd, F_SETLK, &lock);
std::cout<<rc<<std::endl;
std::cin>>fd;
}
I just want to understand which mechanism is used that provide ability to right identify locks.
