=head1 DESCRIPTION
The B command releases the lock on the Volume Location
Database (VLDB) entry for the indicated volume.
=head1 CAUTIONS
Do not user this command under normal circumstances.
It is useful if the VLDB entry is locked but there is no reason to suspect
inconsistency within the volume or between it and the VLDB. Note that it
is possible to list information from locked VLDB entries, even though they
cannot be manipulated in other ways.
The B command unlocks several VLDB entries at once, or
even the entire VLDB. The B command locks a VLDB entry so that
no one else can perform an action that requires writing the VLDB.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=item B<-id> >
Specifies either the complete name or volume ID number of a volume of any
of the three types.
=item B<-cell> >
Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument
with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see L.
=item B<-noauth>
Assigns the unprivileged identity C to the issuer. Do not
combine this flag with the B<-localauth> flag. For more details, see
L.
=item B<-localauth>
Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local
F file. The B command interpreter presents it
to the Volume Server and Volume Location Server during mutual
authentication. Do not combine this flag with the B<-cell> argument or
B<-noauth> flag. For more details, see L.
=item B<-verbose>
Produces on the standard output stream a detailed trace of the command's
execution. If this argument is omitted, only warnings and error messages
appear.
=item B<-help>
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are
ignored.

=head1 EXAMPLES
The following example unlocks the VLDB entry for the volume C.
% vos unlock user.terry
=head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
The issuer must be listed in the F file on the
machine specified with the B<-server> argument and on each database server
machine. If the B<-localauth> flag is included, the issuer must instead be
logged on to a server machine as the local superuser C.
