To confirm:

#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <sys/file.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <signal.h>

void alrm(int sig)
{
write(2, "timeout\n", 8);
}

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
struct itimerval tv = {
.it_interval = {.tv_sec = 10, .tv_usec = 0},
.it_value = {.tv_sec = 10, .tv_usec = 0},
};
struct itimerval otv;

signal(SIGALRM, alrm);
setitimer(ITIMER_REAL, &tv, &otv);
int fd = open(argv[1], O_RDWR);
if ( fd < 0 )
{
perror(argv[1]);
return 1;
}
printf("locking...\n");
if ( flock(fd, LOCK_EX) < 0 )
{
perror("flock");
return 1;
}
printf("sleeping...\n");
int ch;
read(0, &ch, 1);
close(fd);
return 0;
}
