then remove it), handle their return codes and illustrates how to return from the
code:
.IP
.nf
.fam C
.B adepyf \[aq]import time; import ade; rc=ade.lck_lock(errstack, \[dq]/tmp/x.lock\[dq]); return rc if rc != ade.ok else [ print(time.strftime(\[dq]%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S\[dq])), time.sleep(10), print(time.strftime(\[dq]%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S\[dq])), ade.lck_unlock(errstack, \[dq]/tmp/x.lock\[dq])ade.ok ][-1]\[aq]
