	AROS_LH1(struct DosList *, AttemptLockDosList,

/*  SYNOPSIS */
	AROS_LHA(ULONG, flags, D1),

/*  LOCATION */
	struct DosLibrary *, DOSBase, 111, Dos)

/*  FUNCTION
	Tries to get a lock on some of the dos lists. If all went
	well a handle is returned that can be used for FindDosEntry().
	Don't try to busy wait until the lock can be granted - use
	LockDosList() instead.

    INPUTS
	flags - what lists to lock

    RESULT
	Handle to the dos list or NULL. This is not a direct pointer
	to the first list element but to a pseudo element instead.
