ULKOB(8)                        Domain/OS BSD                         ULKOB(8)




NAME
     ulkob - unlock an object

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/ulkob [options] [pathname ...]

DESCRIPTION
     ulkob unlocks objects residing on, or locked by processes running on, the
     current node.  You cannot unlock objects on remote nodes unless you
     locked them (see -f below).

     pathname (optional)
               Specify name of object to be unlocked.  Multiple pathnames and
               wildcarding are permitted.

               Default if omitted:  -u option must be specified

OPTIONS
     If no options are specified, the object is unlocked for all lock modes.

     -r          Unlock an object that was locked for read mode; the lock must
                 be owned by this process.

     -w          Unlock an object that was locked for write mode; the lock
                 must be owned by this process.

     -i          Unlock an object that was locked for reading with intent to
                 write; the lock must be owned by this process.

     -f          Forcibly unlock an object.  It may have been locked for any
                 mode and the lock may be owned by any process.  The object
                 must reside on the current node, however, or must have been
                 locked by the current node.  In other words, you cannot
                 unlock objects on a remote node unless you locked them.

     -l          List the name of each object as it is unlocked.

     -u uid ...  Specify the UID of the object(s) to unlock.  Multiple UIDs
                 are permitted.  If the pathname argument is omitted, then
                 this option is required.

EXAMPLES
     Forcibly unlock the file mary for any mode and unlock the two objects
     with the specified UIDs.

     $ /etc/ulkob mary -f

     $ /etc/ulkob -uid 1C1A9E2F.20000246 1C1A9E42.50000246
