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;
}
