This package includes several programs to safely lock and unlock
files and mailboxes from the command line. These include:
lockfile-create
lockfile-remove
lockfile-touchlock
mail-lock
mail-unlock
mail-touchlock
These programs use liblockfile to perform the file locking and
unlocking, so they are guaranteed compatible with Debian's
file locking policies.
