I will add a warning in the documentation about that.

Yes.

LOCK = Create a file if it does not exist, open it, and then do a 
lockf() on the entire file contents.

UNLOCK = Just close the file descriptor.

The only problem I see is that LOCK truncates the file to zero bytes, 
which is not necessary. I may change that in the future.
