           Summary: flock: can return EAGAIN contrary to manpage
           Product: Documentation
           Version: unspecified
    Kernel Version: n/a
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: low
          Priority: P1
         Component: man-pages
        AssignedTo: documentation_man-pages@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: petr.uzel@xxxxxxx
        Regression: No


flock(2) manpage does not list EAGAIN as possible return value. As far as I
understand, one can assume that flock never returns EAGAIN, which is not true:

strace:
...
flock(3, LOCK_EX|LOCK_NB) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
...

FWIW, this was on kernel 2.6.37.
