Name
       ofl — open file lister

Syntax
       ofl [-P] [-k signalspec] path[...]

Description
       Lists  all  processes  that  have  directories  or files open or in use
       within path. Additionally it can send a signal to  these	 processes  to
       free up a mountpoint for example.

Options
       -k signalspec
	      Send the given signal to all processes that match.

       -P     Show only the PIDs of the processes that matched.

Differences to lsof/fuser
       ·   `lsof  /home/user`  and `fuser /home/user` would not list processes
	   that have a descriptor open on /home/user/subdir.

       ·   `fuser -m /home/subdir` would automatically go down to the root  of
	   a vfsmount (e.g. /home) and list all processes, instead of limiting
	   to /home/subdir.
