My copy of "man flock" uses a 9. As POSIX (XCU ยง2.7 "Redirection")
says:
Open files are represented by decimal numbers starting
with zero. The largest possible value is
implementation-defined; however, all implementations
shall support at least 0 to 9, inclusive, for use by the
application.
However, as mentioned at <http://bugs.debian.org/590920>, a patch to
implement redirection to multi-digit file descriptors without making
dash larger is not likely to make anyone less happy, if you have time
for it.
Hope that helps,
Jonathan
