Two sessions writing to the same potfile

Can 2 separate hashcat sessions write to the same potfile?

Or will that cause a tear in the fabric of the space time continuum?

In Linux, this may come down to how 2 separate processes handle appending data to the same file.  With databases, "locks" can occur on objects while they are being written to.  Is there a Linux OS equivalent?  Would there be a "lock" on the file when one process is appending to the potfile so that the other process has to wait before it can also append?

I found a few references.
