lock, err = lfs.lock_dir(path, [seconds_stale]) Creates a lockfile (called lockfile.lfs) in if it does not exist and returns the lock. If the lock already exists checks it it's stale, using the second parameter (default for the second parameter is INT_MAX, which in practice means the lock will never be stale. To free the the lock call lock:free(). In case of any errors it returns nil and the error message. In particular, if the lock exists and is not stale it returns the "File exists" message.
