/* NAME
/*	open_lock 3
/* SUMMARY
/*	open or create file and lock it for exclusive access
/* SYNOPSIS
/*	#include <open_lock.h>
/*
/*	VSTREAM	*open_lock(path, flags, mode, why)
/*	const char *path;
/*	int	flags;
/*	mode_t	mode;
/*	VSTRING *why;
/* DESCRIPTION
/*	This module opens or creates the named file and attempts to
/*	acquire an exclusive lock.  The lock is lost when the last
/*	process closes the file.
/*
/*	Arguments:
/* .IP "path, flags, mode"
/*	These are passed on to safe_open().
/* .IP why
/*	storage for diagnostics.
/* SEE ALSO
/*	safe_open(3) carefully open or create file
/*	myflock(3) get exclusive lock on file
/* DIAGNOSTICS
/*	In case of problems the result is a null pointer and a problem
/*	description is returned via the global \fIerrno\fR variable.
/* LICENSE
