faxlock - tell a HylaFAX server to switch to LOCKWAIT state

faxlock  sends  a message to a HylaFAXfaxgetty(8) process servicing modem telling it to change its state
       to LOCKWAIT

       The specified modem can either be the name (typically the last component of the terminal port  the  modem
       is attached to), or the full name of the associated FIFO named pipe file, e.g. ``FIFO.ttym2''.

       /var/spool/hylafax                 default spooling area
       /var/spool/hylafax/FIFO            fifo for contacting faxq

       Consult hylafax-server(5) for a complete discussion of the structure and content of the spooling area.

       When faxgetty changes it's state to LOCKWAIT, it will start looking for the UUCP lockfile for the device,
       and when the device is no longer locked, proceed to re-initialize the modem.

-qdir    Use a spooling area other than /var/spool/hylafax.
