    Synopsis
    
        size[4] TGetlock tag[2] fid[4] getlock[n]
        size[4] RGetlock tag[2] getlock[n]
    
    Description
    
    TGetlock is used to test for the existence of byte range posix locks on a file
    identified by given fid. The reply contains getlock structure. If the lock could
    be placed it returns F_UNLCK in type field of getlock structure.  Otherwise it
    returns the details of the conflicting locks in the getlock structure
    
        getlock structure:
          type[1] - Type of lock: F_RDLCK, F_WRLCK
          start[8] - Starting offset for lock
          length[8] - Number of bytes to check for the lock
                 If length is 0, check for lock in all bytes starting at the location
                'start' through to the end of file
          pid[4] - PID of the process that wants to take lock/owns the task
                   in case of reply
          client[4] - Client id of the system that owns the process which
                      has the conflicting lock
