SetFile. Uppercase attributes enable certain options, and lowercase disables them. Locking is, predictably enough, "L/l". For example, to unlock foo.txt:
SetFile -al foo.txt
For details, see "man SetFile".
Or any other approach?
It looks like there's a FSpRstFLock() function in Mac::Files - part of the Mac::Carbon distribution on CPAN - but I haven't used that.
