fix faulty string to int conversion utilities

Probably it was expected that errno is set to EINVAL when illegal characters are encountered. But this is not standard and does not happen on every system, allowing illegal strings to be parsed as valid integers.

title: 'dav lock'
---

**`dav lock [-pc] <url>`**

Creates a lock on the resource specified by the *url*. The lock is an exclusive write lock with infinite depth.

If the resource is successfully locked, a lock token for this resource is printed to stdout. This lock token should be saved somewhere to unlock the resource eventually.

**`-p`** disable file name and path decryption if enabled

**`-c`** enable file name and path decryption

**`-T <seconds>`** specify the lock token timeout in seconds

### Example 1: lock resource and use the lock token

	$ dav lock myserv/resource
	opaquelocktoken:0454905e-f2ff-45c4-a3d7-5c4e4db5ce37
	$ dav put -L opaquelocktoken:0454905e-f2ff-45c4-a3d7-5c4e4db5ce37 myserv/resource newfile
	$ dav unlock -L opaquelocktoken:0454905e-f2ff-45c4-a3d7-5c4e4db5ce37 myserv/resource
