I know someone has already answered this, but you can find the official answer in the documentation. Look up the description of v$lock in the Server Reference Manual. From the 9.2 manual (Oracle9i Database Reference Release 2 (9.2) Part Number A96536-02), description of column v$lock.lmode:
LMODE NUMBER Lock mode in which the session holds the lock:
0 - none
1 - null (NULL)
2 - row-S (SS)
3 - row-X (SX)
4 - share (S)
5 - S/Row-X (SSX)
6 - exclusive (X)
