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.
