// A simple program that checks if a file (given on the command line) is locked.
// It is a helper for crash_sender_util_test.cc. It's necessary because a
// program can't really check if it is holding a lock on a file itself
// (https://stackoverflow.com/q/55944551/608736).
// It exits with 0 if the file is locked, 1 if the file is not locked, and
// a negative exit value if the file can't be found or there are other errors.
