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 --csv or --tsv when the output is intended for automation or external analysis.
• Searchable: Leverage the fz subcommand for fast interactive filtering.
