-<a NAME="Locking Commands"></a>Locking Commands</h2>
-Most locking commands work with the environment handle.&nbsp; However,
-when a user gets a lock we create a new lock handle that they then use
-with in a similar manner to all the other handles to release the lock.&nbsp;
-We present the general locking functions first, and then those that manipulate
-locks.
-<p><b>> &lt;env> lock_detect [default|oldest|youngest|random]</b>
-<p>This command runs the deadlock detector.&nbsp; It directly translates
-to the <a href="../../docs/api_c/lock_detect.html">lock_detect</a> DB call.&nbsp;
-It returns either a 0 (for success), a DB error message or it throws a
-Tcl error with a system message.&nbsp; The first argument sets the policy
-for deadlock as follows:
-<ul>
-<li>
-<b>default</b> selects the DB_LOCK_DEFAULT policy for default detection
-(default if not specified)</li>
-
-<li>
-<b>oldest </b>selects DB_LOCK_OLDEST to abort the oldest locker on a deadlock</li>
-
-<li>
-<b>random</b> selects DB_LOCK_RANDOM to abort a random locker on a deadlock</li>
-
-<li>
-<b>youngest</b> selects DB_LOCK_YOUNGEST to abort the youngest locker on
-a deadlock</li>
-</ul>

-<br><b>> &lt;env> lock_stat</b>
-<p>This command returns a list of name/value pairs where the names correspond
-to the C-structure field names of DB_LOCK_STAT and the values are the data
-returned.&nbsp; This command is a direct translation of the <a href="../../docs/api_c/lock_stat.html">lock_stat</a>
-DB call.
-<hr WIDTH="100%">
-<br><a NAME="> <env> lock_id"></a><b>> &lt;env> lock_id</b>
-<p>This command returns a unique locker ID value.&nbsp; It directly translates
-to the <a href="../../docs/api_c/lock_id.html">lock_id</a> DB call.
-<br>
-<hr WIDTH="100%">
-<br><a NAME="> <env> lock_id"></a><b>> &lt;env> lock_id_free&nbsp; </b><i>locker</i>
-<p>This command frees the locker allockated by the lock_id call. It directly
-translates to the&nbsp; <a href="../../docs/api_c/lock_id.html">lock_id_free
-</a>DB
-call.
-<hr WIDTH="100%">
-<br><a NAME="> <env> lock_id"></a><b>> &lt;env> lock_id_set&nbsp; </b><i>current
-max</i>
-<p>This&nbsp; is a diagnostic command to set the locker id that will get
-allocated next and the maximum id that
-<br>will trigger the id reclaim algorithm.
-<hr WIDTH="100%">
-<br><a NAME="> <env> lock_get"></a><b>> &lt;env> lock_get [-nowait]<i>lockmode
-locker obj</i></b>
-<p>This command gets a lock. It will invoke the <a href="../../docs/api_c/lock_get.html">lock_get</a>
-function.&nbsp; After it successfully gets a handle to a lock, we bind
-it to a new Tcl command of the form <b><i>$env.lockX</i></b>, where X is
-an integer starting at&nbsp; 0 (e.g. <b>$env.lock0, $env.lock1, </b>etc).&nbsp;
-We use the <i>Tcl_CreateObjCommand()</i> to create the top level locking
-command function.&nbsp; It is through this handle that the user can release
-the lock.&nbsp; Internally, the handle we get back from DB will be stored
-as the <i>ClientData</i> portion of the new command set so that future
-locking calls will have that handle readily available.
-<p>The arguments are:
-<ul>
-<li>
-<b><i>locker</i></b> specifies the locker ID returned from the <a href="#> <env> lock_id">lock_id</a>
-command</li>
-
-<li>
-<b><i>obj</i></b> specifies an object to lock</li>
-
-<li>
-the <b><i>lock mode</i></b> is specified as one of the following:</li>
-
-<ul>
-<li>
-<b>ng </b>specifies DB_LOCK_NG for not granted (always 0)</li>
-
-<li>
-<b>read</b> specifies DB_LOCK_READ for a read (shared) lock</li>
-
-<li>
-<b>write</b> specifies DB_LOCK_WRITE for an exclusive write lock</li>
-
-<li>
-<b>iwrite </b>specifies DB_LOCK_IWRITE for intent for exclusive write lock</li>
-
-<li>
-<b>iread </b>specifies DB_LOCK_IREAD for intent for shared read lock</li>
-
-<li>
-<b>iwr </b>specifies DB_LOCK_IWR for intent for eread and write lock</li>
-</ul>
-
-<li>
-<b>-nowait</b> selects the DB_LOCK_NOWAIT to indicate that we do not want
-to wait on the lock</li>
-</ul>
-
-<hr WIDTH="100%">
-<br><b>> &lt;lock> put</b>
-<p>This command releases the lock referenced by the command.&nbsp; It is
-a direct translation of the <a href="../../docs/api_c/lock_put.html">lock_put</a>
-function.&nbsp; It returns either a 0 (for success), a DB error message
-or it throws a Tcl error with a system message.&nbsp; Additionally, since
-the handle is no longer valid, we will call
-<i>Tcl_DeleteCommand()
-</i>so
-that further uses of the handle will be dealt with properly by Tcl itself.

-<br><a NAME="> <env> lock_vec"></a><b>> &lt;env> lock_vec [-nowait] <i>locker
-</i>{get|put|put_all|put_obj
-[<i>obj</i>] [<i>lockmode</i>] [<i>lock</i>]} ...</b>
-<p>This command performs a series of lock calls.&nbsp; It is a direct translation
-of the <a href="../../docs/api_c/lock_vec.html">lock_vec</a> function.&nbsp;
-This command will return a list of the return values from each operation
-specified in the argument list.&nbsp; For the 'put' operations the entry
-in the return value list is either a 0 (for success) or an error.&nbsp;
-For the 'get' operation, the entry is the lock widget handle, <b>$env.lockN</b>
-(as described above in <a href="#> <env> lock_get">&lt;env> lock_get</a>)
-or an error.&nbsp; If an error occurs, the return list will contain the
-return values for all the successful operations up the erroneous one and
-the error code for that operation.&nbsp; Subsequent operations will be
-ignored.
-<p>As for the other operations, if we are doing a 'get' we will create
-the commands and if we are doing a 'put' we will have to delete the commands.&nbsp;
-Additionally, we will have to do this after the call to the DB lock_vec
-and iterate over the results, creating and/or deleting Tcl commands.&nbsp;
-It is possible that we may return a lock widget from a get operation that
-is considered invalid, if, for instance, there was a <b>put_all</b> operation
-performed later in the vector of operations.&nbsp; The arguments are:
-<ul>
-<li>
-<b><i>locker</i></b> specifies the locker ID returned from the <a href="#> <env> lock_id">lock_id</a>
-command</li>
-
-<li>
-<b>-nowait</b> selects the DB_LOCK_NOWAIT to indicate that we do not want
-to wait on the lock</li>
-
-<li>
-the lock vectors are tuple consisting of {an operation, lock object, lock
-mode, lock handle} where what is required is based on the operation desired:</li>
-
-<ul>
-<li>
-<b>get</b> specifes DB_LOCK_GET to get a lock.&nbsp; Requires a tuple <b>{get
-<i>objmode</i>}
-</b>where
-<b><i>mode</i></b>
-is:</li>
-
-<ul>
-<li>
-<b>ng </b>specifies DB_LOCK_NG for not granted (always 0)</li>

-<b>iwr </b>specifies DB_LOCK_IWR for intent for eread and write lock</li>
-</ul>

-<b>put</b> specifies DB_LOCK_PUT to release a <b><i>lock</i></b>.&nbsp;
-Requires a tuple <b>{put <i>lock}</i></b></li>

-<b>put_all </b>specifies DB_LOCK_PUT_ALL to release all locks held by <b><i>locker</i></b>.&nbsp;
-Requires a tuple <b>{put_all}</b></li>
-
-<li>
-<b>put_obj</b> specifies DB_LOCK_PUT_OBJ to release all locks held by <b><i>locker</i></b>
-associated with the given <b><i>obj</i></b>.&nbsp; Requires a tuple <b>{put_obj
-<i>obj}</i></b></li>
-</ul>

-<hr WIDTH="100%">
-<br><a NAME="> <env> lock_vec"></a><b>> &lt;env> lock_timeout <i>timeout</i></b>

-The timeout is in micorseconds.
