:  Modified files:
:    usr.bin              Makefile 
:  Added files:
:    usr.bin/shlock       Makefile shlock.c 
:  Log:
:  Add shlock(1), a program for the safe creation of lock files from shell
:  scripts. It's uses the same algorithm as implemented by Erik Fair, but
:  is easier to read and more stricter in checking for error conditions.

    We need the manual page for it.  Note also that we have a similar
    program called 'lockf' which already provides script level locks.
