   [annotation as Item?],
   [timeout as (Number|String)?]
) as null

Summary

This function must be called in a separate transaction from the dls.documentUpdate and dls.documentCheckin functions.

Parameters
uri The URI of the document to check out.
deep If set to true, then any documents directly or indirectly included by the specified document are also checked out.
annotation Any comments you want to add to the document's active-lock element.
timeout The duration of the checkout, in seconds. For infinite, omit this parameter or specify ().
