man pages are ALWAYS a good idea. (well, NEARLY always.)
it may be that this information may go well into an exisiting man page,
or at least a description. I believe that to some extent they are
supposed to be an internal interface so maybe a description as part of the
utilities that use them may be in order.. also think about whether
a paragraph might go into locking(9).
I'm still trying to nag john to run an editing pass over locking(9)
