## List Locks by Path

```
await Lock.listFor(path, {
  'include_children': false,
})
```


### Parameters

* `cursor` (string): Used for pagination.  When a list request has more records available, cursors are provided in the response headers `X-Files-Cursor-Next` and `X-Files-Cursor-Prev`.  Send one of those cursor value here to resume an existing list from the next available record.  Note: many of our SDKs have iterator methods that will automatically handle cursor-based pagination.
* `per_page` (int64): Number of records to show per page.  (Max: 10,000, 1,000 or less is recommended).
* `path` (string): Required - Path to operate on.
* `include_children` (boolean): Include locks from children objects?

  'allow_access_by_any_user': false,
