Expand description

Attempt to claim the desired Lock type using a byte range of a file.

If the desired Lock type cannot be obtained without blocking, an Error of kind ErrorKind::WouldBlock is returned. Otherwise if successful, the lock is held.

The byte range does not need to exist in the underlying file.
