LOCK(1)             UNIX Programmer's Manual              LOCK(1)



NAME
     lock - reserve a terminal

SYNOPSIS
     lock [ -number ]

DESCRIPTION
     _L_o_c_k requests a password from the user, reads it again for
     verification and then it will normally not relinquish the
     terminal until the password is repeated. There are three
     other conditions under it will terminate: it accepts the
     password for root as an alternative to the one given by the
     user, it will timeout after some interval of time, and it
     may be killed by somebody with the appropiate permission.
     The default time limit is 15 minutes but it may be changed
     with the -number option where _n_u_m_b_e_r is the time limit in
     minutes.
