 * Name: lockf
 *
 * Description:
 *   lockf() is a function that allows a process to apply or remove an
 *   advisory lock on an open file. The lock can be either a shared (read)
 *   lock or an exclusive (write) lock. This lock is advisory, meaning that
 *   it is not enforced by the system and it is up to cooperating processes
 *   to honor the lock.
 *
 * Input Parameters:
 *   fd  - File descriptor of the open file.
 *   cmd - Specifies the type of lock operation to be performed.
 *   It can be one of the following:
 *     F_LOCK: Request an exclusive (write) lock. If the lock is not
 *             available, the call may block until it can be acquired.
 *     F_TLOCK: Try to request an exclusive (write) lock. If the lock is not
 *              available, the call will not block and will return
 *              immediately.
 *     F_ULOCK: Unlock an existing lock.
 *     F_TEST: Test the lock. Returns 0 if the file is unlocked or locked by
 *             the calling process, or -1 with errno set to EACCES if another
 *             process holds the lock.
 *   len - Length of the locked region, relative to the current file
 *         position.
 *
 * Returned Value:
 *   The returned value of lockf() depends on the success or failure of the
 *   operation. On success, the return value is 0. On failure, the return
 *   value is -1, and the errno variable is set to indicate the specific
 *   error.
