/* NAME
/* open_lock 3
/* SUMMARY
/* open or create file and lock it for exclusive access
/* SYNOPSIS
/* #include <open_lock.h>
/*
/* VSTREAM *open_lock(path, int flags, int mode, why)
/* const char *path;
/* int flags;
/* int 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.
