How does fuser do it?

I wish I knew. The manpage mentions /proc, maybe that could be relevant, but then if I knew I wouldn't have asked. And no, I've not checked the src, as it is C, I suppose, and I don't know much C any more...

But you can check the source of Linux::Fuser which works in the same way as I noted ~~above~~ in Re^2: How to detect if file is in use?. /J\	[reply]
