ofl — open file lister
Contents
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.
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.
