ULKOB (UNLOCK_OBJECT) -- Unlock an object.
usage:  ULKOB  pathname... [-R|-W|-I|-F] [-L]      {CL}


FORMAT

  ULKOB  pathname ... [options]


  The ULKOB command unlocks objects residing on, or locked by processes
  running on, the current node.  You may not unlock objects on remote
  nodes unless you locked them (see -F below).  This command can be
  used when a program terminates abnormally, leaving objects locked, or
  to unlock objects previously locked with the LKOB (LOCK_OBJECT) command.

  To obtain a list of your node's locked objects, use the LLKOB
  (LIST_LOCKED_OBJECTS) command.


ARGUMENTS

  pathname
  (required)       Specify name of object to be unlocked.  Multiple
                   pathnames and wildcarding are permitted.


OPTIONS

  If no options are specified, the object is unlocked for all lock modes.

  -R               Unlock an object that was locked for read mode;
                   the lock must be owned by this process.

  -W               Unlock an object that was locked for write mode;
                   the lock must be owned by this process.

  -I               Unlock an object that was locked for reading with
                   intent to write; the lock must be owned by this process.

  -F               Forcibly unlock an object.  It may have been locked for
                   any mode and the lock may be owned by any process.  The
                   object must reside on the current node, however, or must
                   have been locked by the current node.  In other words,
                   you cannot unlock objects on a remote node unless you
                   locked them.

  -L               List the name of each object as it is unlocked.


EXAMPLE

  $ ULKOB mary -f            Forcibly unlock the file "mary" for any mode.
