=head2 lock_info

Returns a colon-limited string with the contents of the lock file. 
Will croak if the lock file does not exist.

B<Note> that the owner and timestamp in the file contents
are not from a stat() of the file.
They are written
at the time the lock file is created. So chown'ing or touch'ing
a lock file do not alter its status.

See lock_owner() and lock_time() for easier ways to get at specific
information.
