<h2>Description</h2>

<p>When LOCK is On, MHonArc performs attempts to create a lock
before processing an archive.  When off, no lock is performed
(contrast with <a href="force.html">FORCE</a>).
</p>

<table border=0 cellpadding=4>
<tr valign=top>
<td><strong><font color="red">WARNING</font></strong></td>
<td><p>If LOCK is off, MHonArc will process the archive even
if another MHonArc is active for the archive.  This can lead
to archive corruption.
</p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

<p>A reason to turn off LOCK is if MHonArc is being invoked
from another process (like <b>Procmail</b>) that has its own
locking mechanism to insure multiple instances cannot be
accessing the same archive at the same time.
