  \begin{funcdesc}{locking}{fd, mode, nbytes}
!   Lock part of a file based on a file descriptor from the C runtime.
!   Raises \exception{IOError} on failure.

  \begin{funcdesc}{locking}{fd, mode, nbytes}
!   Lock part of a file based on file descriptor \var{fd} from the C
!   runtime.  Raises \exception{IOError} on failure.  The locked region
!   of the file extends from the current file position for \var{nbytes}
!   bytes, and may continue beyond the end of the file.  \var{mode} must
!   be one of the \constant{LK_\var{*}} constants listed below.
!   Multiple regions in a file may be locked at the same time, but may
!   not overlap.  Adjacent regions are not merged; they must be unlocked
!   individually.
  \end{funcdesc}
+ 
+ \begin{datadesc}{LK_LOCK}
+ \dataline{LK_RLCK}
+   Locks the specified bytes. If the bytes cannot be locked, the
+   program immediately tries again after 1 second.  If, after 10
+   attempts, the bytes cannot be locked, \exception{IOError} is
+   raised.
+ \end{datadesc}
+ 
+ \begin{datadesc}{LK_NBLCK}
+ \dataline{LK_NBRLCK}
+   Locks the specified bytes. If the bytes cannot be locked,
+   \exception{IOError} is raised.
+ \end{datadesc}
+ 
+ \begin{datadesc}{LK_UNLCK}
+   Unlocks the specified bytes, which must have been previously locked.
