The documentation has the signature:

lockf(fd, operation, [len, [start, [whence]]])

but the description refers to the length parameter.

Obviously very minor.

Personally, I'd be happier to see the signature
changed, rather than the documentation.

cheers,

The docstring says length (since 2001), so length it is. :-)
