>Description:

Top of lockf man page reads:

	NAME
	     lockf - record locking on files

	LIBRARY
	SYNOPSIS
	     #include <unistd.h>

	     int
	     lockf(int filedes, int function, off_t size)

The "LIBRARY" seems to be a typo. It seems to be trying to say that
lockf is in libc, but this isn't used in any other libc man pages.

>How-To-Repeat:

man 3 lockf
