+/* NAME
+/* dot_lockfile 3
+/* SUMMARY
+/* dotlock file management
+/* SYNOPSIS
+/* #include <dot_lockfile.h>
+/*
+/* int dot_lockfile(path, why)
+/* const char *path;
+/* VSTRING *why;
+/*
+/* void dot_unlockfile(path)
+/* const char *path;
+/* DESCRIPTION
+/* dot_lockfile() constructs a lock file name by appending ".lock" to
+/* \fIpath\fR and creates the named file exclusively. It tries several
+/* times and attempts to break stale locks. A negative result value
+/* means no lock file could be created.
+/*
+/* dot_unlockfile() attempts to remove the lock file created by
+/* dot_lockfile(). The operation always succeeds, and therefore
+/* it preserves the errno value.
+/*
+/* Arguments:
+/* .IP path
+/* Name of the file to be locked or unlocked.
+/* .IP why
+/* A null pointer, or storage for the reason why a lock file could
+/* not be created.
+/* DIAGNOSTICS
+/* dot_lockfile() returns 0 upon success. In case of failure, the
+/* result is -1, and the errno variable is set appropriately:
+/* EEXIST when a "fresh" lock file already exists; other values as
+/* appropriate.
+/* CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
+/* deliver_lock_attempts, how many times to try to create a lock
+/* deliver_lock_delay, how long to wait between attempts
+/* stale_lock_time, when to break a stale lock
+/* LICENSE
+/* .ad
+/* .fi
+/* The Secure Mailer license must be distributed with this software.
