MLOCK(1) MLOCK(1)
NAME
mlock -- lock a mailbox
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/mlock
DESCRIPTION
If libc-client.so is unable to create a mailbox lock file, it will call
this program. This makes using the mailbox safe over i.e. NFS. There
is no reason to call mlock yourself or through another program. It is
setgid mail so there is no need to change the permissions of /var/mail
to 1777.
BUGS
No documentation other than this crappy man page,
