5.2. Lock States
5.2. Lock States A lock state indicates the current status of a lock request. A lock is always in one of three states: Granted - The lock request succeeded and attained the requested mode. Converting - A client attempted to change the lock mode and the new mode is incompatible with an existing lock. Blocked - The request for a new lock could not be granted because conflicting locks exist. A lock's state is determined by its requested mode and the modes of the other locks on the same resource.
