+# execution, and hence without use on SysV-less systems.
+#
+# /run/lock/lockdev is used to serialize access to tty devices via
+# LCK..xxx style lock files, For more information see:
+# http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2011-March/001823.html
+# On modern systems a BSD file lock is a better choice if
+# serialization is needed on those devices.
