+Lock file support
+=================
+
+The ZODB lock_file module provides support for creating file system
+locks.  These are locks that are implemented with lock files and
+OS-provided locking facilities.  To create a lock, instantiate a
+LockFile object with a file name:
+
+    >>> import zc.lockfile
+    >>> lock = zc.lockfile.LockFile('lock')
+
+If we try to lock the same name, we'll get a lock error:
+
+    >>> import zope.testing.loggingsupport
+    >>> handler = zope.testing.loggingsupport.InstalledHandler('zc.lockfile')
+    >>> try:
+    ...     zc.lockfile.LockFile('lock')
+    ... except zc.lockfile.LockError:
+    ...     print("Can't lock file")
+    Can't lock file
+
+.. We don't log failure to acquire.
+
+    >>> for record in handler.records: # doctest: +ELLIPSIS
+    ...     print(record.levelname+' '+record.getMessage())
+
+To release the lock, use it's close method:
+
+    >>> lock.close()
+
+The lock file is not removed.  It is left behind:
+
+    >>> import os
+    >>> os.path.exists('lock')
+    True
+
+Of course, now that we've released the lock, we can create it again:
+
+    >>> lock = zc.lockfile.LockFile('lock')
+    >>> lock.close()
+
+.. Cleanup
+
+    >>> import os
+    >>> os.remove('lock')
+
+Hostname in lock file
+=====================
+
+In a container environment (e.g. Docker), the PID is typically always
+identical even if multiple containers are running under the same operating
+system instance.
+
+Clearly, inspecting lock files doesn't then help much in debugging. To identify
+the container which created the lock file, we need information about the
+container in the lock file. Since Docker uses the container identifier or name
+as the hostname, this information can be stored in the lock file in addition to
+or instead of the PID.
+
+Use the ``content_template`` keyword argument to ``LockFile`` to specify a
+custom lock file content format:
+
+    >>> lock = zc.lockfile.LockFile('lock', content_template='{pid};{hostname}')
+    >>> lock.close()
+
+If you now inspected the lock file, you would see e.g.:
+
+    $ cat lock
+     123;myhostname
