lslocks: List locks by PID input.
$ lslocks --pid ${PID}
try on your machine

The command "lslocks --pid ${PID}" is used to display information about file locks that are currently held by a specific process.

Here's a breakdown of the command and its components:

  • "lslocks": It is the name of the command/tool that is being executed.
  • "--pid": It is an option/flag used with the "lslocks" command to specify that you want to filter the output by a specific process ID (PID).
  • "${PID}": It is a placeholder variable that should be replaced with the actual process ID you want to check for file locks. The syntax "${PID}" is often used in shell scripting to reference and substitute the value of a variable.

By using this command and providing the appropriate PID, you will get a list of file locks held by that particular process. This can be useful for troubleshooting file access issues or understanding which processes are currently using a specific file.
