lslocks: List locks producing a raw output (no columns), and without column headers.
$ lslocks --raw --noheadings
try on your machine

The lslocks command is used to list information about the files currently locked in a Linux system. Here is the explanation for the given command:

  • lslocks: This is the actual command that you are executing.
  • --raw: This option displays the output of the command in a raw format, without any formatting or headers. This is useful when you want to process the output further, for example, with scripting or parsing.
  • --noheadings: This option removes the column headings from the output. By default, lslocks command shows headers like "TYPE", "PID", "MOUNTPOINT", etc., which indicate the meaning of each column. With --noheadings, these headers will be excluded from the output.

So, when you execute lslocks --raw --noheadings, it will provide a raw and header-less output containing information about the locked files on your Linux system.
