   lock(2)                                                             lock(2)


   NAME
         lock - locks a process in primary memory.

   SYNOPSIS
         int lock(flag)
         cc [flag ...] file ... -lx

   DESCRIPTION
         If the flag argument is nonzero, the process executing this call will
         not be swapped unless it is required to grow.  If the argument is
         zero, the process is unlocked.  This call may only be executed by the
         super-user.  If someone other than the super-user tries to execute
         this call, a value of -1 is returned and the errno is set to EPERM.
