lsof - List Open Files Enhancement
The lsof module provides a more intuitive way to interact with the system's open file list. It supports an interactive TUI for exploration and allows exporting results in common data formats.
When to Activate
- When investigating file locking issues or identifying process ownership of files.
- When performing interactive searches of open files using FZF.
- When exporting open file data to CSV or TSV for script processing.
- When needing thread-level details (
--task) for open files.
Core Principles & Rules
- Interactive TUI: Automatically displays a TUI when connected to a terminal; otherwise, defaults to TSV.
- Data-Centric: Use
--csvor--tsvwhen the output is intended for automation or external analysis. - Searchable: Leverage the
fzsubcommand for fast interactive filtering.
