+The
+.Ic watch
+command switches a file from normal mode to
+pseudo-lock mode as well as handling the notifications associated
+with it.
+Pseudo-lock mode means knowing who is editing a file:

+extracts the file in read-only mode.
+Users must use the
+.Ic edit
+command to get the editing rights on the file.
+.Pp
+One of the following arguments to the
+.Ic watch
+command is mandatory: on, off, add, or remove.
+.Ar on
+switches the file into pseudo-lock mode;
+.Ar off
+switches it back to normal mode;
+.Ar add
+adds notifications for specific actions on the file;
+.Ar remove
+removes those notifications.
+.Pp
+The notifications are permanent.
+They remain in place until the
+.Ic watch remove
+command is issued while the temporary notifications are
+made available with the
+.Ic edit
+command.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fl l
+flag is used to limit the scope of the search to the local directory
