Examples

filespec[,...]
   Specifies the name of the file to be unlocked. Wildcard characters
   (* and %)  are allowed. If you include more than one file
   specification, separate them with either commas (,)  or plus signs
   (+).

Additional information available:

/CONFIRM/LOG

      /CONFIRM
      /NOCONFIRM (default)

   Displays a query for each file being unlocked, to which you must
   respond Y (YES) or T (TRUE) to unlock the file. Any other response
   aborts the unlock operation.

      /LOG
      /NOLOG (default)

   Controls whether the UNLOCK command displays the file
   specification of each file being unlocked.

   1.  $ TYPE TST.OUT
       %TYPE-E-OPENIN, error opening  DISK1:[STEVE]TST.OUT;3 as input
       -SYSTEM-W-FILELOCKED, file is deaccess locked
       $ UNLOCK TST.OUT
       $ TYPE TST.OUT

     In this example, the request to type the output file TST.OUT
     returns an error message indicating that the file is locked.
     The UNLOCK command unlocks it. Then the TYPE command is
     reentered to display the contents of the file.

   2.  $ UNLOCK NODE3::DISK0:[LISTS]MAILLIST3.LIS
       $ COPY NODE3::DISK0:[LISTS]MAILLIST3.LIS *.*

     In this example, the user needs a copy of the file
     MAILLIST3.list, which is locked on remote NODE3. Enter the
     UNLOCK command first and then copy the file to your current
     node, disk, and directory.
