LSLOCKS(8)                   System Administration                  LSLOCKS(8)
NAME
       lslocks - list local system locks
SYNOPSIS
       lslocks [options]
DESCRIPTION
       lslocks  lists information about all the currently held file locks in a
       Linux system.
       Note that lslocks also lists OFD (Open File Description)  locks,  these
       locks  are  not associated with any process (PID is -1).  OFD locks are
       associated with the open file description on which they  are  acquired.
       This  lock  type  is  available since Linux 3.15, see fcntl(2) for more
       details.
OPTIONS
       -i, --noinaccessible
              Ignore lock files which are inaccessible for the current user.
       -J, --json
              Use JSON output format.
       -n, --noheadings
              Do not print a header line.
       -o, --output list
              Specify which output columns to print.  Use --help to get a list
              of all supported columns.
              The default list of columns may be extended if list is specified
              in the format +list (e.g. lslocks -o +BLOCKER).
       -p, --pid pid
              Display only the locks held by the process with this pid.
       -r, --raw
              Use the raw output format.
       -u, --notruncate
              Do not truncate text in columns.
       -V, --version
              Display version information and exit.
       -h, --help
              Display help text and exit.
OUTPUT
       COMMAND
              The command name of the process holding the lock.
       PID    The process ID of the process which holds the  lock  or  -1  for
              OFDLCK.
       TYPE   The  type  of  lock; can be FLOCK (created with flock(2)), POSIX
              (created with fcntl(2) and lockf(3))  or  OFDLCK  (created  with
              fcntl(2).
       SIZE   Size of the locked file.
       MODE   The  lock's access permissions (read, write).  If the process is
              blocked and waiting for the lock, then  the  mode  is  postfixed
              with an '*' (asterisk).
       M      Whether  the  lock is mandatory; 0 means no (meaning the lock is
              only advisory), 1 means yes.  (See fcntl(2).)
       START  Relative byte offset of the lock.
       END    Ending offset of the lock.
       PATH   Full path of the lock.  If none is found, or there are  no  per-
              missions  to  read  the  path, it will fall back to the device's
              mountpoint and "..." is appended to the path.  The path might be
              truncated; use --notruncate to get the full path.
       BLOCKER
              The PID of the process which blocks the lock.

       originally written by Victor A. Abell <abe AT purdue.edu> and unmaintained
       since 2001.
