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
