The NFS network lock manager

Overview of the network lock manager

The Network File System (NFS) takes advantage of a network locking facility, implemented with the user-level daemon called the Network Lock Manager. The Lock Manager supports the UNIX® System V style of advisory and mandatory file and record locking (implemented using the lockf(3C) library routine and the fcntl(2) system call). Mandatory file and record locking is not supported over NFS.
