The \f(CW\*(C`::Multi\*(C'\fR locker locks a folder in each way it can.  This way, the
chance is highest that any other program will leave the folder alone
during our access to it.
.PP
NFS-lock and Flock are tried.  More may be added when the ways to
lock are extended.  DotLock overlaps with NFS-lock, but NFS-lock is
safer, so that version is preferred.

Array of locker type \s-1NAMES\s0 or \s-1LOCKER\s0 objects to be used to lock one
folder.  The type \s-1NAMES\s0 are converted into objects.  When you create your
own \s-1LOCKER\s0 objects, be sure to set the timeout very short (preferrably
to 1).
.Sp
Some locking types are not available on some platforms, so they will
not be excluded from the default list (\s-1NFS POSIX\s0 Flock).

Fatal error: the specific package (or one of its superclasses) does not
implement this method where it should. This message means that some other
related classes do implement this method however the class at hand does
not.  Probably you should investigate this and probably inform the author
of the package.
