DESCRIPTION
lslocks lists information about all the currently held file locks in a Linux system.

OPTIONS

-h, --help
    Print a help text and exit.

-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.

OUTPUT

COMMAND
    The command name of the process holding the lock.

PID The process ID of the process which holds the lock.

TYPE
    The type of lock; can be FLOCK (created with flock(2)) or POSIX (created with fcntl(2) and lockf(3)).

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 permissions to read the path, it will fall back to the device's mountpoint. The path might be truncated; use --notruncate to get the full path.

BLOCKER
    The PID of the process which blocks the lock.
