            Bug ID: 210770
           Summary: lockf(1): EX_UNAVAILABLE is not returned
           Product: Base System
           Version: 10.1-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: eserte12 at yahoo.de

The lockf(1) manpage documents that EX_UNAVAILABLE is returned if -n is used
and the lock file does not exist. This is not the case:

$ lockf -n /tmp/doesnotexist echo; echo $?
lockf: cannot open /tmp/doesnotexist: No such file or directory
73

EX_CANTCREAT (73) is returned instead.
