Name

       ofl — open file lister

Syntax

       ofl [-P] [-k signalspec] path[...]

Description

       Lists  all  processes  that  have  directories  or  files  open  or  in  use  within path.
       Additionally it can send a signal to these processes to free up a mountpoint for example.

Options

       -k signalspec
              Send the given signal to all processes that match.

       -P     Show only the PIDs of the processes that matched.

Differences to lsof/fuser

       •   `lsof /home/user` and  `fuser  /home/user`  would  not  list  processes  that  have  a
           descriptor open on /home/user/subdir.

       •   `fuser  -m  /home/subdir`  would automatically go down to the root of a vfsmount (e.g.
           /home) and list all processes, instead of limiting to /home/subdir.
