LOCKNAME(8C)

✨ NAME ✨

ok so welcome to LOCKNAME(8C) bestie 💖

lockname — it's a program that faxaddmodem and probemodem call up to generate a UUCP lock filename, and it does it the SVR4 way, periodt.

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so here's the tea ☕

lockname is a program that gets invoked by faxaddmodem and probemodem to generate a UUCP lock filename, and it follows SVR4 conventions to do it. ✨

and like… that's the whole job. that's it. that's the moment. 💅

⚠️ bestie listen — this one is not intended to be run directly. it's not giving "type my name in the terminal and see what happens." it's giving "I'm a backstage helper for faxaddmodem and probemodem, and I thrive in the wings." 🦋 so like, let the fax tools call it, okay? no cap. 🙈

and that's the whole page, my love 💜 — this one is a tiny little icon and it knows it. 🎀

🌸 sending you off with the deets: this page came from the Dec 3, 2012 era of the docs (yep, that's the date at the bottom, she's an elder but she's still serving), so go forth, let faxaddmodem and probemodem do the calling, and stay iconic. 🫶💖 ⭐
