flock now additionally supports the following scenario, which requires
to propagate locks to the parent process:
-
+ <screen>
(
flock -n 9 || exit 1
# ... commands executed under lock ...
} 9>/var/lock/mylockfile
-
+ </screen>
Only propagation to the direct parent process is supported so far,
not to grand parents or sibling processes.
