+/* NAME
+/* myflock 3
+/* SUMMARY
+/* lock open file
+/* SYNOPSIS
+/* #include <myflock.h>
+/*
+/* int myflock(fd, lock_style, operation)
+/* int fd;
+/* int lock_style;
+/* int operation;
+/* DESCRIPTION
+/* myflock() locks or unlocks an entire open file.
+/*
+/* In the case of a blocking request, a call that fails due to
+/* foreseeable transient problems is retried once per second.
+/*
+/* Arguments:
+/* .IP fd
+/* The open file to be locked/unlocked.
+/* .IP lock_style
+/* One of the following values:
+/* .RS
+/* .IP MYFLOCK_STYLE_FLOCK
+/* Use BSD-style flock() locking.
+/* .IP MYFLOCK_STYLE_FCNTL
+/* Use POSIX-style fcntl() locking.
+/* .RE
+/* .IP operation
+/* One of the following values:
+/* .RS
+/* .IP MYFLOCK_OP_NONE
+/* Release any locks the process has on the specified open file.
+/* .IP MYFLOCK_OP_SHARED
+/* Attempt to acquire a shared lock on the specified open file.
+/* This is appropriate for read-only access.
+/* .IP MYFLOCK_OP_EXCLUSIVE
+/* Attempt to acquire an exclusive lock on the specified open
+/* file. This is appropriate for write access.
+/* .PP
+/* In addition, setting the MYFLOCK_OP_NOWAIT bit causes the
+/* call to return immediately when the requested lock cannot
+/* be acquired.
+/* .RE
+/* DIAGNOSTICS
+/* myflock() returns 0 in case of success, -1 in case of failure.
+/* A problem description is returned via the global \fIerrno\fR
+/* variable. In the case of a non-blocking lock request the value
+/* EAGAIN means that a lock is claimed by someone else.
+/*
+/* Panic: attempts to use an unsupported file locking method or
+/* to implement an unsupported operation.
