+SUMMARY="Implements functions designed to lock the standard mailboxes"
+DESCRIPTION="This library implements a number of functions found in -lmail \
+on SysV systems. These functions are designed to lock the standard mailboxes \
+in /var/mail (or wherever the system puts them).
+
+In additions, this library adds a number of functions to create, \
+manage and remove generic lockfiles.
+
+The lockfiles are created by this library in an NFS-safe manner, that \
+is by using a tempfile and using link(2) to create the lockfile. It \
+works around several defects in NFS servers to make sure the lockfile \
+is created atomically.
+
+The locking strategy is compatible with other well-written NFS-safe \
+programs that create lockfiles - such as procmail, exim and mutt.
+
+If you are trying to lock a mailbox in a directory writable for group \
+mail, the locking functions will call a helper application which runs \
+setgid to do the actual locking. The helper application \"dotlockfile\" \
+can also be used directly, for example for use in shellscripts.
+
+This means a program such as a MUA doesn't need to be setgid mail anymore \
+to be able to lock the mailbox."
