              Do not print a header line.

              Specify which output columns to print.  Use --help to get a
              list of all supported columns.
              The default list of columns may be extended if list is

OUTPUT         top

       COMMAND
              The command name of the process holding the lock.
       PID    The process ID of the process which holds the lock.
       TYPE   The type of lock; can be FLOCK (created with flock(2)) or
              POSIX (created with fcntl(2) and lockf(3)).
       SIZE   Size of the locked file.
       MODE   The lock's access permissions (read, write).  If the process
              is blocked and waiting for the lock, then the mode is
              postfixed with an '*' (asterisk).
       M      Whether the lock is mandatory; 0 means no (meaning the lock is
              only advisory), 1 means yes.  (See fcntl(2).)
       START  Relative byte offset of the lock.
       END    Ending offset of the lock.
       PATH   Full path of the lock.  If none is found, or there are no
              permissions to read the path, it will fall back to the
              device's mountpoint and "..." is appended to the path.  The
              path might be truncated; use --notruncate to get the full
              path.
       BLOCKER
              The PID of the process which blocks the lock.

NOTES         top

       The lslocks command is meant to replace the lslk(8) command,
       originally written by Victor A. Abell <abe@purdue.edu> and unmaintained
       since 2001.
