How can one process tell if a file is open in another process?

I'm writing a daemon that takes files placed into an input directory but
the daemon needs to wait until the file is closed by the process that
is creating it.

This is being developed on an AT&T 3b2 running SVR3.2 but will eventually
be ported it to other hardware.
