Usage: consul lock [options] prefix child...

  Acquires a lock or semaphore at a given path, and invokes a child process
  when successful. The child process can assume the lock is held while it
  executes. If the lock is lost or communication is disrupted the child
  process will be sent a SIGTERM signal and given time to gracefully exit.
  After the grace period expires the process will be hard terminated.

  For Consul agents on Windows, the child process is always hard terminated
  with a SIGKILL, since Windows has no POSIX compatible notion for SIGTERM.

  When -n=1, only a single lock holder or leader exists providing mutual
  exclusion. Setting a higher value switches to a semaphore allowing multiple
  holders to coordinate.

  The prefix provided must have write privileges.
