I'm about to add an argument to the RPC, see below:

/* Do fcntl type locking on FILE. CMD is from the set
 F_GETLK64, F_SETLK64, F_SETLKW64. FLOCK64 is passed
 by the user and is as defined by <fcntl.h>. */
routine file_record_lock (
       file: file_t;
       RPT
       cmd: int;
       inout flock64: flock_t;
       <new entry here>
);

Any ideas what to call it, type in/out/inout and description? Of course the
implementations would return EOPNOTSUPP
until proc_user_identify/proc_server_identify RPCs are implemented.

Thanks!
