  36     <para>
  37       ping_pong measures the byte range lock latency. It is especially
  38       useful on a cluster of nodes sharing a common lock manager as it
  39       will give some indication of the lock manager's performance
  40       under stress.
  41     </para>
  42
  43     <para>
  44       FILENAME is a file on shared storage to use for byte range
  45       locking tests.
  46     </para>
  47
  48     <para>
  49       NUM-LOCKS is the number of byte range locks, so needs to be
  50       (strictly) greater than the number of nodes in the cluster.
