Usage: consul lock [options] prefix child...

  Acquires a lock or semaphore at a given path, and invokes a child
  process when successful. The child process can assume the lock is
  held while it executes. If the lock is lost or communication is
  disrupted the child process will be sent a SIGTERM signal and given
  time to gracefully exit. After the grace period expires the process
  will be hard terminated.
  For Consul agents on Windows, the child process is always hard 
  terminated with a SIGKILL, since Windows has no POSIX compatible
  notion for SIGTERM.

  When -n=1, only a single lock holder or leader exists providing
  mutual exclusion. Setting a higher value switches to a semaphore
  allowing multiple holders to coordinate.

  The prefix provided must have write privileges.

Options:

  -http-addr=127.0.0.1:8500  HTTP address of the Consul agent.
  -n=1                       Maximum number of allowed lock holders. If this
                             value is one, it operates as a lock, otherwise
                             a semaphore is used.
  -name=""                   Optional name to associate with lock session.
  -token=""                  ACL token to use. Defaults to that of agent.
  -verbose                   Enables verbose output
