Have you try dnf provides  /etc/platform/platform.conf
DNF has this feature:
https://dnf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/command_ref.html#provides-command-label

I don't think that exit status is good enough, I think we need to work
on a test plan for each flock service. Originally each service should
be documented about what are the expected functions it should perform.
Based on that anyone could develop the test case. We can work on a
test plan for the flock services as part of R4 but not sure if is
already in the plan or not
