Lock application my-app

application lock my-app pwd=-

Lock application my-app and prompt for password

Note: A password is required for a non-maintainer to lock an application.

If the pwd argument is specified, it is required to unlock the application.

When an application is locked, no volumes belonging to the application may be managed and the application may not be modified in any way
