/*
**  LOCKFILE -- lock a file using flock or (shudder) fcntl locking
**
**      Parameters:
**              fd -- the file descriptor of the file.
**              filename -- the file name (for error messages). [unused]
**              ext -- the filename extension. [unused]
**              type -- type of the lock.  Bits can be:
**                      LOCK_EX -- exclusive lock.
**                      LOCK_NB -- non-blocking.
**                      LOCK_UN -- unlock.
**
**      Returns:
**              true if the lock was acquired.
**              false otherwise.
