px: List deleted files being held open by a process

Open walles opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

If you do px 1234, px should include in its output the list of deleted files being held open by this process, or at least a top-ten by size.

Here's how to get that info system-wide:

lsof -nP +L1

This lists all files to which there are zero links.

Is it "should" as in "usually does" or "should" as in "should be implemented"?
