42*5c2921b0SApple OSS Distributions<h3>DESCRIPTION</h3>
43*5c2921b0SApple OSS Distributions<p>
44*5c2921b0SApple OSS DistributionsThe <strong>lock_set_create</strong> function creates a new lock set representing a
45*5c2921b0SApple OSS Distributionscollection of associated locks. The lock set is associated with the
46*5c2921b0SApple OSS Distributionsspecified task. A send right naming the lock set is returned to the
47*5c2921b0SApple OSS Distributionscaller.
