NAME¶
mlock -- lock a mailbox
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,
