commit dd201e407e48ba59bdfa1f71d41acfdac1a9c562 Author: Alexander Ziaee <[email protected]> AuthorDate: 2026-04-08 20:08:43 +0000 Commit: Alexander Ziaee <[email protected]> CommitDate: 2026-04-08 20:09:15 +0000 lockf.1: Organize and provide error numbers Add error numbers to the exit codes so that readers can decode them without having to use a separate utility. Organize exits by error code. Mark up the error constants with the error constant macro, even though this is really not very helpful because people will search for the error code, the macro is explicitly for the constants and not the codes. While where, align and alphabetize the options list as well, fix misaligned padding in an example, and a one-sentance-per-line error.
