-.TH SHLOCK 1
-.SH NAME
-shlock \- create lock files for use in shell scripts
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B shlock
-.BI \-p " pid"
-.BI \-f " name"
-[
-.B \-b
-]
-[
-.B \-u
-]
-[
-.B \-c
-]
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.I Shlock
-tries to create a lock file named
-.I name
-and write the process ID
-.I pid
-into it.
-If the file already exists,
-.I shlock
-will read the process ID from the file and test to see if the process
-is currently running.
-If the process exists, then the file will not be created.
-.PP
-.I Shlock
-exits with a zero status if it was able to create the lock file, or
-non-zero if the file refers to currently-active process.
-.SH OPTIONS
-.TP
-.B \-b
-Process IDs are normally read and written in ASCII.
-If the ``\-b'' flag is used, then they will be written as a binary
-.IR int .
-For compatibility with other systems, the ``\-u'' flag is accepted as
-a synonym for ``\-b'' since binary locks are used by many UUCP packages.
-.TP
-.B \-c
-If the ``\-c'' flag is used, then
-.I shlock
-will not create a lock file, but will instead use the file to see if
-the lock is held by another program.
-If the lock is valid, the program will exit with a non-zero status; if
-the lock is not valid (i.e., invoking
-.I shlock
-without the flag would have succeeded), then the program will exit
-with a zero status.
-.SH EXAMPLES
-The following example shows how
-.I shlock
-would be used within a shell script:
-.RS
-.nf
-LOCK=<pathrun in inn.conf>/LOCK.send
-trap 'rm -f ${LOCK} ; exit 1' 1 2 3 15
-if shlock -p $$ -f ${LOCK} ; then
-    # Do appropriate work
-else
-    echo Locked by `cat ${LOCK}`
-f\&i
-.fi
-.RE
-.SH BUGS
-.I shlock
-assumes that it will not be used in an environment with multiple
-locks/unlocks in a short time (due to a race condition).  That is,
-.I shlock
-is intended for daily or hourly jobs.
-.SH HISTORY
-Written by Rich $alz <rsalz@uunet.uu.net> after a description of HDB UUCP
-locking given by Peter Honeyman.
