LOCK(1)								       LOCK(1)

NAME
       lock - reserve a terminal

SYNOPSIS
       lock [ -number ]

DESCRIPTION
       Lock requests a password from the user, reads it again for verification
       and then it  will  normally  not	 relinquish  the  terminal  until  the
       password	 is  repeated.	There are three other conditions under it will
       terminate: it accepts the password for root as an  alternative  to  the
       one given by the user, it will timeout after some interval of time, and
       it may be killed by somebody  with  the	appropriate  permission.   The
       default time limit is 15 minutes but it may be changed with the -number
       option where number is the time limit in minutes.
