+* Support for file description locks is added to systems running the
+  Linux kernel. The standard file locking interfaces are extended to
+  operate on file descriptions, not file descriptors, via the use of
+  F_OFD_GETLK, F_OFD_SETLK, and F_OFD_SETLKW. File description locks
+  are associated with an open file instead of a process.
