flock command for XENIX

I was in need of an equivilent to the BSD flock command under XENIX 2.3.2, so
I wrote one.  It comes in handy in shell scripts.

So without further adieu, here it is.

#! /bin/sh
# This is a shell archive.  Remove anything before this line, then feed it
# into a shell via "sh file" or similar.  To overwrite existing files,
# type "sh file -c".
# The tool that generated this appeared in the comp.sources.unix newsgroup;
# send mail to comp-sources-unix at uunet.uu.net if you want that tool.
# If this archive is complete, you will see the following message at the end:
#		"End of shell archive."
# Contents:  flock.c

if test -f 'flock.c' -a "${1}" != "-c" ; then 
  echo shar: Will not clobber existing file \"'flock.c'\"
else
echo shar: Extracting \"'flock.c'\" \(4361 characters\)
sed "s/^X//" >'flock.c' <<'END_OF_FILE'
X/*  flock.
X	
X	This program is a close equivilent to the 4.3 bsd flock command for
X	locking files from the command line.  The only differences between this
X	flock command and the bsd flock command is that only 1 file name
X	may appear on the command line instead of multiple file names.
X
X	This program is in the public domain and may be used and
X	distributed as long as this message is not removed from the source.
X
X	This program was written under SCO XENIX 2.3.2 (386) but should
X	run under any SYSTEM V machine with little change.  I have tried
X	to stay away from anything XENIX specific, but who knows?
