I'm using HPUX 7.0 (SysV with quite a bit of BSD, for those who do not
know it).
How would you find out who has opened a file and has some lock on it ?
There are routines which return what locks there are on a file,
but I couldn't , even after diligent search of the the friendly
man-pages, find any library function which would reveal this
function.
The closest I came was the SU-command fuser , which would give the
desired information.
Any way, known to the mighty net-wizards ?
