/* NAME
/*	deliver_flock 3
/* SUMMARY
/*	lock open file for mail delivery
/* SYNOPSIS
/*	#include <deliver_flock.h>
/*
/*	int	deliver_flock(fd, lock_style, why)
/*	int	fd;
/*	int	lock_style;
/*	VSTRING	*why;
/* DESCRIPTION
/*	deliver_flock() sets one exclusive kernel lock on an open file,
/*	for example in order to deliver mail.
/*	It performs several non-blocking attempts to acquire an exclusive
/*	lock before giving up.
/*
/*	Arguments:
/* .IP fd
/*	A file descriptor that is associated with an open file.
/* .IP lock_style
/*	A locking style defined in myflock(3).
/* .IP why
/*	A null pointer, or storage for diagnostics.
/* DIAGNOSTICS
/*	deliver_flock() returns -1 in case of problems, 0 in case
/*	of success. The reason for failure is returned via the \fIwhy\fR
/*	parameter.
/* CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS
/*	deliver_lock_attempts, number of locking attempts
/*	deliver_lock_delay, time in seconds between attempts
/*	sun_mailtool_compatibility, disable kernel locking
/* LICENSE
/* .ad
/* .fi
/*	The Secure Mailer license must be distributed with this software.
