Provide byte-range file locking emulation that can be configured at mount
time to one of four modes:
(1) flock=local. Locking is done locally only and no reference is made to
the server.
(2) flock=openafs. Byte-range locking is done locally only; whole-file
locking is done with reference to the server. Whole-file locks cannot
be upgraded unless the client holds an exclusive lock.
(3) flock=strict. Byte-range and whole-file locking both require a
sufficient whole-file lock on the server.
(4) flock=write. As strict, but the client always gets an exclusive
whole-file lock on the server.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
