+@defunx describe-file-lock path
+@var{path} must be a string naming a file. Optional argument @var{prefix} is a string
+printed before each line of the message. @code{describe-file-lock} prints to
+@code{(current-error-port)} that @var{path} is locked for writing and lists
+its lock-files.

+@example
+(describe-file-lock "my.txt" ">> ")
+@print{}
+>> "my.txt" is locked for writing by 'luser@@no.com.4829:1200536423'
