+This package includes several programs to safely lock and unlock
+files and mailboxes from the command line. These include:
+
+ lockfile-create
+ lockfile-remove
+ lockfile-touchlock
+ mail-lock
+ mail-unlock
+ mail-touchlock
+
+These programs use liblockfile to perform the file locking and
+unlocking, so they are guaranteed compatible with Debian's
+file locking policies.
