bk-lock - (unknown subject)
NAME
bk lock − lock a repository or show lockers
SYNOPSIS
bk lock
[−l|r|w|L|U]
[−q] [directory]
DESCRIPTION
The bk lock command can be used to lock an entire
repository or to list the lockers of a repository. If a
directory is specified, the operation applies to the
repository rooted at that directory.
Since a lock is valid only as long as the locking process exists, when placing lock the bk lock command does not exit, it goes to sleep waiting for a signal.
OPTIONS
−l List the lockers of a repository.
−q quiet, exit status only
−r Add a read lock (non-exclusive) and sleep until
interrupted.
−w Add a write lock (exclusive) and sleep until
interrupted.
−L Wait for the repository to become locked
(primarily used for testing).
−U Wait for the repository to become unlocked
(primarily used for testing).
EXIT
STATUS
If called with no options or if called with the
−l option, bk lock returns exit status:
0 if the repository has no locks.
1 if the repository has locks.
2 if run outside of a repository.
If called with either −r or −w, bk lock returns exit status 1 if unable to lock the repository.
