DBCC SHOWCONTIG

When executing the DBCC SHOWCONTIG statement; will it block all inserts,
selects and updates to its designated table?
We have one table that is constantly being written to 27X7 that cannot
be locked.
I want to run DBCC SHOWCONTIG, to perform maintenance, but do not want
to if this will occur.
Thanks,
