Sorry, I thought it was a regularly distributed command (silly me... it is installed on my fedora box, that should have raised some flags... darn redhat) http://www.linuxcommand.org/man_pages/flock1.html It is apparently part of util-linux. Although, at the very least you should have a man page for the flock(2) system call... odd...
