DESCRIPTION
Lsof revision 4.95.0 lists on its standard output file information
about files opened by processes for the following UNIX dialects:
Apple Darwin 9 and Mac OS X 10.[567]
FreeBSD 8.[234], 9.0 and 1[012].0 for AMD64-based systems
Linux 2.1.72 and above for x86-based systems
Solaris 9, 10 and 11
(See the DISTRIBUTION section of this manual page for information on
how to obtain the latest lsof revision.)
An open file may be a regular file, a directory, a block special file,
a character special file, an executing text reference, a library, a
stream or a network file (Internet socket, NFS file or UNIX domain
socket.) A specific file or all the files in a file system may be se-
lected by path.
Instead of a formatted display, lsof will produce output that can be
parsed by other programs. See the -F, option description, and the OUT-
PUT FOR OTHER PROGRAMS section for more information.
In addition to producing a single output list, lsof will run in repeat
mode. In repeat mode it will produce output, delay, then repeat the
output operation until stopped with an interrupt or quit signal. See
the +|-r [t[m<fmt>]] option description for more information.
OPTIONS
In the absence of any options, lsof lists all open files belonging to
all active processes.
If any list request option is specified, other list requests must be
specifically requested - e.g., if -U is specified for the listing of
UNIX socket files, NFS files won't be listed unless -N is also speci-
fied; or if a user list is specified with the -u option, UNIX domain
socket files, belonging to users not in the list, won't be listed un-
less the -U option is also specified.
Normally, list options that are specifically stated are ORed - i.e.,
specifying the -i option without an address and the -ufoo option pro-
duces a listing of all network files OR files belonging to processes
owned by user ``foo''. The exceptions are:
1) the `^' (negated) login name or user ID (UID), specified with the -u
option;
2) the `^' (negated) process ID (PID), specified with the -p option;
3) the `^' (negated) process group ID (PGID), specified with the -g op-
tion;
4) the `^' (negated) command, specified with the -c option;
5) the (`^') negated TCP or UDP protocol state names, specified with
the -s [p:s] option.
Since they represent exclusions, they are applied without ORing or AND-
ing and take effect before any other selection criteria are applied.
The -a option may be used to AND the selections. For example, specify-
ing -a, -U, and -ufoo produces a listing of only UNIX socket files that
belong to processes owned by user ``foo''.
Caution: the -a option causes all list selection options to be ANDed;
it can't be used to cause ANDing of selected pairs of selection options
by placing it between them, even though its placement there is accept-
able. Wherever -a is placed, it causes the ANDing of all selection op-
tions.
Items of the same selection set - command names, file descriptors, net-
work addresses, process identifiers, user identifiers, zone names, se-
curity contexts - are joined in a single ORed set and applied before
the result participates in ANDing. Thus, for example, specifying
-i@aaa.bbb, -i@ccc.ddd, -a, and -ufff,ggg will select the listing of
files that belong to either login ``fff'' OR ``ggg'' AND have network
connections to either host aaa.bbb OR ccc.ddd.
Options may be grouped together following a single prefix -- e.g., the
option set ``-a -b -C'' may be stated as -abC. However, since values
are optional following +|-f, -F, -g, -i, +|-L, -o, +|-r, -s, -S, -T, -x
and -z. when you have no values for them be careful that the following
character isn't ambiguous. For example, -Fn might represent the -F and
-n options, or it might represent the n field identifier character fol-
lowing the -F option. When ambiguity is possible, start a new option
with a `-' character - e.g., ``-F -n''. If the next option is a file
name, follow the possibly ambiguous option with ``--'' - e.g., ``-F --
name''.
Either the `+' or the `-' prefix may be applied to a group of options.
Options that don't take on separate meanings for each prefix - e.g., -i
- may be grouped under either prefix. Thus, for example, ``+M -i'' may
be stated as ``+Mi'' and the group means the same as the separate op-
tions. Be careful of prefix grouping when one or more options in the
group does take on separate meanings under different prefixes - e.g.,
+|-M; ``-iM'' is not the same request as ``-i +M''. When in doubt, use
separate options with appropriate prefixes.
-? -h These two equivalent options select a usage (help) output
list. Lsof displays a shortened form of this output when it
detects an error in the options supplied to it, after it has
displayed messages explaining each error. (Escape the `?'
character as your shell requires.)
-a causes list selection options to be ANDed, as described above.
-A A is available on systems configured for AFS whose AFS kernel
code is implemented via dynamic modules. It allows the lsof
user to specify A as an alternate name list file where the
kernel addresses of the dynamic modules might be found. See
the lsof FAQ (The FAQ section gives its location.) for more
information about dynamic modules, their symbols, and how they
affect lsof.
-b causes lsof to avoid kernel functions that might block -
lstat(2), readlink(2), and stat(2).
See the BLOCKS AND TIMEOUTS and AVOIDING KERNEL BLOCKS sec-
tions for information on using this option.
-c c selects the listing of files for processes executing the com-
mand that begins with the characters of c. Multiple commands
may be specified, using multiple -c options. They are joined
in a single ORed set before participating in AND option selec-
tion.
If c begins with a `^', then the following characters specify
a command name whose processes are to be ignored (excluded.)
If c begins and ends with a slash ('/'), the characters be-
tween the slashes are interpreted as a regular expression.
Shell meta-characters in the regular expression must be quoted
to prevent their interpretation by the shell. The closing
slash may be followed by these modifiers:
b the regular expression is a basic one.
i ignore the case of letters.
x the regular expression is an extended one
(default).
See the lsof FAQ (The FAQ section gives its location.) for
more information on basic and extended regular expressions.
The simple command specification is tested first. If that
test fails, the command regular expression is applied. If the
simple command test succeeds, the command regular expression
test isn't made. This may result in ``no command found for
regex:'' messages when lsof's -V option is specified.
+c w defines the maximum number of initial characters of the name,
supplied by the UNIX dialect, of the UNIX command associated
with a process to be printed in the COMMAND column. (The lsof
default is nine.)
Note that many UNIX dialects do not supply all command name
characters to lsof in the files and structures from which lsof
obtains command name. Often dialects limit the number of
characters supplied in those sources. For example, Linux
2.4.27 and Solaris 9 both limit command name length to 16
characters.
If w is zero ('0'), all command characters supplied to lsof by
the UNIX dialect will be printed.
If w is less than the length of the column title, ``COMMAND'',
it will be raised to that length.
-C disables the reporting of any path name components from the
kernel's name cache. See the KERNEL NAME CACHE section for
more information.
+d s causes lsof to search for all open instances of directory s
and the files and directories it contains at its top level.
+d does NOT descend the directory tree, rooted at s. The +D D
option may be used to request a full-descent directory tree
search, rooted at directory D.
Processing of the +d option does not follow symbolic links
within s unless the -x or -x l option is also specified. Nor
does it search for open files on file system mount points on
subdirectories of s unless the -x or -x f option is also
specified.
Note: the authority of the user of this option limits it to
searching for files that the user has permission to examine
with the system stat(2) function.
-d s specifies a list of file descriptors (FDs) to exclude from or
include in the output listing. The file descriptors are spec-
ified in the comma-separated set s - e.g., ``cwd,1,3'',
``^6,^2''. (There should be no spaces in the set.)
The list is an exclusion list if all entries of the set begin
with `^'. It is an inclusion list if no entry begins with
`^'. Mixed lists are not permitted.
A file descriptor number range may be in the set as long as
neither member is empty, both members are numbers, and the
ending member is larger than the starting one - e.g., ``0-7''
or ``3-10''. Ranges may be specified for exclusion if they
have the `^' prefix - e.g., ``^0-7'' excludes all file de-
scriptors 0 through 7.
Multiple file descriptor numbers are joined in a single ORed
set before participating in AND option selection.
When there are exclusion and inclusion members in the set,
lsof reports them as errors and exits with a non-zero return
code.
See the description of File Descriptor (FD) output values in
the OUTPUT section for more information on file descriptor
names.
fd is a pseudo file descriptor name for specifying the whole
range of possible file descriptor numbers. fd does not appear
in FD column of output.
+D D causes lsof to search for all open instances of directory D
and all the files and directories it contains to its complete
depth.
Processing of the +D option does not follow symbolic links
within D unless the -x or -x l option is also specified. Nor
does it search for open files on file system mount points on
subdirectories of D unless the -x or -x f option is also
specified.
Note: the authority of the user of this option limits it to
searching for files that the user has permission to examine
with the system stat(2) function.
Further note: lsof may process this option slowly and require
a large amount of dynamic memory to do it. This is because it
must descend the entire directory tree, rooted at D, calling
stat(2) for each file and directory, building a list of all
the files it finds, and searching that list for a match with
every open file. When directory D is large, these steps can
take a long time, so use this option prudently.
-D D directs lsof's use of the device cache file. The use of this
option is sometimes restricted. See the DEVICE CACHE FILE
section and the sections that follow it for more information
on this option.
-D must be followed by a function letter; the function letter
may optionally be followed by a path name. Lsof recognizes
these function letters:
? - report device cache file paths
b - build the device cache file
i - ignore the device cache file
r - read the device cache file
u - read and update the device cache file
The b, r, and u functions, accompanied by a path name, are
sometimes restricted. When these functions are restricted,
they will not appear in the description of the -D option that
accompanies -h or -? option output. See the DEVICE CACHE
FILE section and the sections that follow it for more informa-
tion on these functions and when they're restricted.
The ? function reports the read-only and write paths that
lsof can use for the device cache file, the names of any envi-
ronment variables whose values lsof will examine when forming
the device cache file path, and the format for the personal
device cache file path. (Escape the `?' character as your
shell requires.)
When available, the b, r, and u functions may be followed by
the device cache file's path. The standard default is
.lsof_hostname in the home directory of the real user ID that
executes lsof, but this could have been changed when lsof was
configured and compiled. (The output of the -h and -? op-
tions show the current default prefix - e.g., ``.lsof''.) The
suffix, hostname, is the first component of the host's name
returned by gethostname(2).
When available, the b function directs lsof to build a new de-
vice cache file at the default or specified path.
The i function directs lsof to ignore the default device cache
file and obtain its information about devices via direct calls
to the kernel.
The r function directs lsof to read the device cache at the
default or specified path, but prevents it from creating a new
device cache file when none exists or the existing one is im-
properly structured. The r function, when specified without a
path name, prevents lsof from updating an incorrect or out-
dated device cache file, or creating a new one in its place.
The r function is always available when it is specified with-
out a path name argument; it may be restricted by the permis-
sions of the lsof process.
When available, the u function directs lsof to read the device
cache file at the default or specified path, if possible, and
to rebuild it, if necessary. This is the default device cache
file function when no -D option has been specified.
+|-e s exempts the file system whose path name is s from being sub-
jected to kernel function calls that might block. The +e op-
tion exempts stat(2), lstat(2) and most readlink(2) kernel
function calls. The -e option exempts only stat(2) and
lstat(2) kernel function calls. Multiple file systems may be
specified with separate +|-e specifications and each may have
readlink(2) calls exempted or not.
This option is currently implemented only for Linux.
CAUTION: this option can easily be mis-applied to other than
the file system of interest, because it uses path name rather
than the more reliable device and inode numbers. (Device and
inode numbers are acquired via the potentially blocking
stat(2) kernel call and are thus not available, but see the
+|-m m option as a possible alternative way to supply device
numbers.) Use this option with great care and fully specify
the path name of the file system to be exempted.
When open files on exempted file systems are reported, it may
not be possible to obtain all their information. Therefore,
some information columns will be blank, the characters
``UNKN'' preface the values in the TYPE column, and the appli-
cable exemption option is added in parentheses to the end of
the NAME column. (Some device number information might be
made available via the +|-m m option.)
+|-E +E specifies that Linux pipe, Linux UNIX socket, Linux INET(6)
socket closed in a local host, Linux pseudoterminal files,
POSIX Message Queueue implementation in Linux, and Linux
eventfd should be displayed with endpoint information and the
files of the endpoints should also be displayed.
Note 1: UNIX socket file endpoint information is only avail-
able when the compile flags line of -v output contains HASUX-
SOCKEPT, and psudoterminal endpoint information is only avail-
able when the compile flags line contains HASPTYEPT.
Note 2: POSIX Message Queue file endpoint information is only
available when mqueue file system is mounted.
Pipe endpoint information is displayed in the NAME column in
the form ``PID,cmd,FDmode'', where PID is the endpoint process
ID; cmd is the endpoint process command; FD is the endpoint
file's descriptor; and mode is the endpoint file's access
mode.
Pseudoterminal endpoint information is displayed in the NAME
column as ``->/dev/ptsmin PID,cmd,FDmode'' or ``PID,cmd,FD-
mode''. The first form is for a master device; the second,
for a slave device. min is a slave device's minor device num-
ber; and PID, cmd, FD and mode are the same as with pipe end-
point information. Note: psudoterminal endpoint information
is only available when the compile flags line of -V output
contains HASPTYEPT. In addition, this feature works on Linux
kernels above 4.13.0.
UNIX socket file endpoint information is displayed in the NAME
column in the form
``type=TYPE ->INO=INODE PID,cmd,FDmode'', where TYPE is the
socket type; INODE is the i-node number of the connected
socket; and PID, cmd, FD and mode are the same as with pipe
endpoint information. Note: UNIX socket file endpoint infor-
mation is available only when the compile flags line of -v
output contains HASUXSOCKEPT.
INET socket file endpoint information is inserted to the value
at the NAME column in th form
PID, cmd, FD and mode are the same as with pipe endpoint in-
formation. The endpoint information is available only if the
socket is used for local IPC; both endpoints bind to the same
local IPv4 or IPv6 address.
POSIX Message Queue file endpoint information is displayed in
the NAME column in the same form as that of pipe.
eventfd endpoint information is displayed in the NAME column
in the same form as that of pipe. This feature works on Linux
kernels above 5.2.0.
Multiple occurrences of this information can appear in a
file's NAME column.
-E specifies that endpoint supported files should be displayed
with endpoint information, but not the files of the endpoints.
+|-f [cfgGn]
f by itself clarifies how path name arguments are to be inter-
preted. When followed by c, f, g, G, or n in any combination
it specifies that the listing of kernel file structure infor-
mation is to be enabled (`+') or inhibited (`-').
Normally a path name argument is taken to be a file system
name if it matches a mounted-on directory name reported by
mount(8), or if it represents a block device, named in the
mount output and associated with a mounted directory name.
When +f is specified, all path name arguments will be taken to
be file system names, and lsof will complain if any are not.
This can be useful, for example, when the file system name
(mounted-on device) isn't a block device. This happens for
some CD-ROM file systems.
When -f is specified by itself, all path name arguments will
be taken to be simple files. Thus, for example, the ``-f --
/'' arguments direct lsof to search for open files with a `/'
path name, not all open files in the `/' (root) file system.
Be careful to make sure +f and -f are properly terminated and
aren't followed by a character (e.g., of the file or file sys-
tem name) that might be taken as a parameter. For example,
use ``--'' after +f and -f as in these examples.
$ lsof +f -- /file/system/name
$ lsof -f -- /file/name
The listing of information from kernel file structures, re-
quested with the +f [cfgGn] option form, is normally inhib-
ited, and is not available in whole or part for some dialects
- e.g., /proc-based Linux kernels below 2.6.22. When the pre-
fix to f is a plus sign (`+'), these characters request file
structure information:
c file structure use count (not Linux)
f file structure address (not Linux)
g file flag abbreviations (Linux 2.6.22 and up)
Abbrev. Flag in C code (see open(2))
W O_WRONLY
RW O_RDWR
CR O_CREAT
EXCL O_EXCL
NTTY O_NOCTTY
TR O_TRUNC
AP O_APPEND
ND O_NDELAY
SYN O_SYNC
ASYN O_ASYNC
DIR O_DIRECT
DTY O_DIRECTORY
NFLK O_NOFOLLOW
NATM O_NOATIME
DSYN O_DSYNC
RSYN O_RSYNC
LG O_LARGEFILE
CX O_CLOEXEC
TMPF O_TMPFILE
G file flags in hexadecimal (Linux 2.6.22 and up)
n file structure node address (not Linux)
When the prefix is minus (`-') the same characters disable the
listing of the indicated values.
File structure addresses, use counts, flags, and node ad-
dresses may be used to detect more readily identical files in-
herited by child processes and identical files in use by dif-
ferent processes. Lsof column output can be sorted by output
columns holding the values and listed to identify identical
file use, or lsof field output can be parsed by an AWK or Perl
post-filter script, or by a C program.
-F f specifies a character list, f, that selects the fields to be
output for processing by another program, and the character
that terminates each output field. Each field to be output is
specified with a single character in f. The field terminator
defaults to NL, but may be changed to NUL (000). See the OUT-
PUT FOR OTHER PROGRAMS section for a description of the field
identification characters and the field output process.
When the field selection character list is empty, all standard
fields are selected (except the raw device field, security
context and zone field for compatibility reasons) and the NL
field terminator is used.
When the field selection character list contains only a zero
(`0'), all fields are selected (except the raw device field
for compatibility reasons) and the NUL terminator character is
used.
Other combinations of fields and their associated field termi-
nator character must be set with explicit entries in f, as de-
scribed in the OUTPUT FOR OTHER PROGRAMS section.
When a field selection character identifies an item lsof does
not normally list - e.g., PPID, selected with -R - specifica-
tion of the field character - e.g., ``-FR'' - also selects the
listing of the item.
When the field selection character list contains the single
character `?', lsof will display a help list of the field
identification characters. (Escape the `?' character as your
shell requires.)
-g [s] excludes or selects the listing of files for the processes
whose optional process group IDentification (PGID) numbers are
in the comma-separated set s - e.g., ``123'' or ``123,^456''.
(There should be no spaces in the set.)
PGID numbers that begin with `^' (negation) represent exclu-
sions.
Multiple PGID numbers are joined in a single ORed set before
participating in AND option selection. However, PGID exclu-
sions are applied without ORing or ANDing and take effect be-
fore other selection criteria are applied.
The -g option also enables the output display of PGID numbers.
When specified without a PGID set that's all it does.
-i [i] selects the listing of files any of whose Internet address
matches the address specified in i. If no address is speci-
fied, this option selects the listing of all Internet and x.25
(HP-UX) network files.
If -i4 or -i6 is specified with no following address, only
files of the indicated IP version, IPv4 or IPv6, are dis-
played. (An IPv6 specification may be used only if the di-
alects supports IPv6, as indicated by ``[46]'' and ``IPv[46]''
in lsof's -h or -? output.) Sequentially specifying -i4,
followed by -i6 is the same as specifying -i, and vice-versa.
Specifying -i4, or -i6 after -i is the same as specifying -i4
or -i6 by itself.
Multiple addresses (up to a limit of 100) may be specified
with multiple -i options. (A port number or service name
range is counted as one address.) They are joined in a single
ORed set before participating in AND option selection.
An Internet address is specified in the form (Items in square
brackets are optional.):
[46][protocol][@hostname|hostaddr][:service|port]
where:
46 specifies the IP version, IPv4 or IPv6
that applies to the following address.
'6' may be be specified only if the UNIX
dialect supports IPv6. If neither '4' nor
'6' is specified, the following address
applies to all IP versions.
protocol is a protocol name - TCP, UDP
hostname is an Internet host name. Unless a
specific IP version is specified, open
network files associated with host names
of all versions will be selected.
hostaddr is a numeric Internet IPv4 address in
dot form; or an IPv6 numeric address in
colon form, enclosed in brackets, if the
UNIX dialect supports IPv6. When an IP
version is selected, only its numeric
addresses may be specified.
service is an /etc/services name - e.g., smtp -
or a list of them.
port is a port number, or a list of them.
IPv6 options may be used only if the UNIX dialect supports
IPv6. To see if the dialect supports IPv6, run lsof and spec-
ify the -h or -? (help) option. If the displayed description
of the -i option contains ``[46]'' and ``IPv[46]'', IPv6 is
supported.
IPv4 host names and addresses may not be specified if network
file selection is limited to IPv6 with -i 6. IPv6 host names
and addresses may not be specified if network file selection
is limited to IPv4 with -i 4. When an open IPv4 network
file's address is mapped in an IPv6 address, the open file's
type will be IPv6, not IPv4, and its display will be selected
by '6', not '4'.
At least one address component - 4, 6, protocol, hostname,
hostaddr, or service - must be supplied. The `@' character,
leading the host specification, is always required; as is the
`:', leading the port specification. Specify either hostname
or hostaddr. Specify either service name list or port number
list. If a service name list is specified, the protocol may
also need to be specified if the TCP, UDP and UDPLITE port
numbers for the service name are different. Use any case -
lower or upper - for protocol.
Service names and port numbers may be combined in a list whose
entries are separated by commas and whose numeric range en-
tries are separated by minus signs. There may be no embedded
spaces, and all service names must belong to the specified
protocol. Since service names may contain embedded minus
signs, the starting entry of a range can't be a service name;
it can be a port number, however.
Here are some sample addresses:
-i6 - IPv6 only
TCP:25 - TCP and port 25
@1.2.3.4 - Internet IPv4 host address 1.2.3.4
@[3ffe:1ebc::1]:1234 - Internet IPv6 host address
3ffe:1ebc::1, port 1234
UDP:who - UDP who service port
TCP@lsof.itap:513 - TCP, port 513 and host name lsof.itap
tcp@foo:1-10,smtp,99 - TCP, ports 1 through 10,
service name smtp, port 99, host name foo
tcp@bar:1-smtp - TCP, ports 1 through smtp, host bar
:time - either TCP, UDP or UDPLITE time service port
-K k selects the listing of tasks (threads) of processes, on di-
alects where task (thread) reporting is supported. (If help
output - i.e., the output of the -h or -? options - shows
this option, then task (thread) reporting is supported by the
dialect.)
If -K is followed by a value, k, it must be ``i''. That
causes lsof to ignore tasks, particularly in the default,
list-everything case when no other options are specified.
When -K and -a are both specified on Linux, and the tasks of a
main process are selected by other options, the main process
will also be listed as though it were a task, but without a
task ID. (See the description of the TID column in the OUTPUT
section.)
Where the FreeBSD version supports threads, all threads will
be listed with their IDs.
In general threads and tasks inherit the files of the caller,
but may close some and open others, so lsof always reports all
the open files of threads and tasks.
-k k specifies a kernel name list file, k, in place of /vmunix,
/mach, etc. -k is not available under AIX on the IBM
RISC/System 6000.
-l inhibits the conversion of user ID numbers to login names. It
is also useful when login name lookup is working improperly or
slowly.
+|-L [l] enables (`+') or disables (`-') the listing of file link
counts, where they are available - e.g., they aren't available
for sockets, or most FIFOs and pipes.
When +L is specified without a following number, all link
counts will be listed. When -L is specified (the default), no
link counts will be listed.
When +L is followed by a number, only files having a link
count less than that number will be listed. (No number may
follow -L.) A specification of the form ``+L1'' will select
open files that have been unlinked. A specification of the
form ``+aL1 <file_system>'' will select unlinked open files on
the specified file system.
For other link count comparisons, use field output (-F) and a
post-processing script or program.
+|-m m specifies an alternate kernel memory file or activates mount
table supplement processing.
The option form -m m specifies a kernel memory file, m, in
place of /dev/kmem or /dev/mem - e.g., a crash dump file.
The option form +m requests that a mount supplement file be
written to the standard output file. All other options are
silently ignored.
There will be a line in the mount supplement file for each
mounted file system, containing the mounted file system direc-
tory, followed by a single space, followed by the device num-
ber in hexadecimal "0x" format - e.g.,
/ 0x801
Lsof can use the mount supplement file to get device numbers
for file systems when it can't get them via stat(2) or
lstat(2).
The option form +m m identifies m as a mount supplement file.
Note: the +m and +m m options are not available for all sup-
ported dialects. Check the output of lsof's -h or -? options
to see if the +m and +m m options are available.
+|-M Enables (+) or disables (-) the reporting of portmapper regis-
trations for local TCP, UDP and UDPLITE ports, where port map-
ping is supported. (See the last paragraph of this option de-
scription for information about where portmapper registration
reporting is supported.)
The default reporting mode is set by the lsof builder with the
HASPMAPENABLED #define in the dialect's machine.h header file;
lsof is distributed with the HASPMAPENABLED #define deacti-
vated, so portmapper reporting is disabled by default and must
be requested with +M. Specifying lsof's -h or -? option will
report the default mode. Disabling portmapper registration
when it is already disabled or enabling it when already en-
abled is acceptable. When portmapper registration reporting
is enabled, lsof displays the portmapper registration (if any)
for local TCP, UDP or UDPLITE ports in square brackets immedi-
ately following the port numbers or service names - e.g.,
``:1234[name]'' or ``:name[100083]''. The registration infor-
mation may be a name or number, depending on what the regis-
tering program supplied to the portmapper when it registered
the port.
When portmapper registration reporting is enabled, lsof may
run a little more slowly or even become blocked when access to
the portmapper becomes congested or stopped. Reverse the re-
porting mode to determine if portmapper registration reporting
is slowing or blocking lsof.
For purposes of portmapper registration reporting lsof consid-
ers a TCP, UDP or UDPLITE port local if: it is found in the
local part of its containing kernel structure; or if it is lo-
cated in the foreign part of its containing kernel structure
and the local and foreign Internet addresses are the same; or
if it is located in the foreign part of its containing kernel
structure and the foreign Internet address is INADDR_LOOPBACK
(127.0.0.1). This rule may make lsof ignore some foreign
ports on machines with multiple interfaces when the foreign
Internet address is on a different interface from the local
one.
See the lsof FAQ (The FAQ section gives its location.) for
further discussion of portmapper registration reporting is-
sues.
Portmapper registration reporting is supported only on di-
alects that have RPC header files. (Some Linux distributions
with GlibC 2.14 do not have them.) When portmapper registra-
tion reporting is supported, the -h or -? help output will
show the +|-M option.
-n inhibits the conversion of network numbers to host names for
network files. Inhibiting conversion may make lsof run
faster. It is also useful when host name lookup is not work-
ing properly.
-N selects the listing of NFS files.
-o directs lsof to display file offset at all times. It causes
the SIZE/OFF output column title to be changed to OFFSET.
Note: on some UNIX dialects lsof can't obtain accurate or con-
sistent file offset information from its kernel data sources,
sometimes just for particular kinds of files (e.g., socket
files.) Consult the lsof FAQ (The FAQ section gives its loca-
tion.) for more information.
The -o and -s options are mutually exclusive; they can't both
be specified. When neither is specified, lsof displays what-
ever value - size or offset - is appropriate and available for
the type of the file.
-o o defines the number of decimal digits (o) to be printed after
the ``0t'' for a file offset before the form is switched to
``0x...''. An o value of zero (unlimited) directs lsof to use
the ``0t'' form for all offset output.
This option does NOT direct lsof to display offset at all
times; specify -o (without a trailing number) to do that. -o
o only specifies the number of digits after ``0t'' in either
mixed size and offset or offset-only output. Thus, for exam-
ple, to direct lsof to display offset at all times with a dec-
imal digit count of 10, use:
-o -o 10
or
-oo10
The default number of digits allowed after ``0t'' is normally
8, but may have been changed by the lsof builder. Consult the
description of the -o o option in the output of the -h or -?
option to determine the default that is in effect.
-O directs lsof to bypass the strategy it uses to avoid being
blocked by some kernel operations - i.e., doing them in forked
child processes. See the BLOCKS AND TIMEOUTS and AVOIDING
KERNEL BLOCKS sections for more information on kernel opera-
tions that may block lsof.
While use of this option will reduce lsof startup overhead, it
may also cause lsof to hang when the kernel doesn't respond to
a function. Use this option cautiously.
-p s excludes or selects the listing of files for the processes
whose optional process IDentification (PID) numbers are in the
comma-separated set s - e.g., ``123'' or ``123,^456''. (There
should be no spaces in the set.)
PID numbers that begin with `^' (negation) represent exclu-
sions.
Multiple process ID numbers are joined in a single ORed set
before participating in AND option selection. However, PID
exclusions are applied without ORing or ANDing and take effect
before other selection criteria are applied.
-P inhibits the conversion of port numbers to port names for net-
work files. Inhibiting the conversion may make lsof run a
little faster. It is also useful when port name lookup is not
working properly.
-Q ignore failed search terms. When lsof is told to search for
users of a file, or for users of a device, or for a specific
PID, or for certain protocols in use by that PID, and so on,
lsof will return an error if any of the search results are
empty. The -Q option will change this behavior so that lsof
will instead return a successful exit code (0) even if any of
the search results are empty. In addition, missing search
terms will not be reported to stderr.
+|-r [t[c<N>][m<fmt>]]
puts lsof in repeat mode. There lsof lists open files as se-
lected by other options, delays t seconds (default fifteen),
then repeats the listing, delaying and listing repetitively
until stopped by a condition defined by the prefix to the op-
tion.
If the prefix is a `-', repeat mode is endless. Lsof must be
terminated with an interrupt or quit signal. `c<N>' is for
specifying the limits of repeating; if the number of itera-
tions reaches at `<N>', Lsof stops itself.
If the prefix is `+', repeat mode will end the first cycle no
open files are listed - and of course when lsof is stopped
with an interrupt or quit signal. When repeat mode ends be-
cause no files are listed, the process exit code will be zero
if any open files were ever listed; one, if none were ever
listed.
Lsof marks the end of each listing: if field output is in
progress (the -F, option has been specified), the default
marker is `m'; otherwise the default marker is ``========''.
The marker is followed by a NL character.
The optional "m<fmt>" argument specifies a format for the
marker line. The <fmt> characters following `m' are inter-
preted as a format specification to the strftime(3) function,
when both it and the localtime(3) function are available in
the dialect's C library. Consult the strftime(3) documenta-
tion for what may appear in its format specification. Note
that when field output is requested with the -F option, <fmt>
cannot contain the NL format, ``%n''. Note also that when
<fmt> contains spaces or other characters that affect the
shell's interpretation of arguments, <fmt> must be quoted ap-
propriately.
Repeat mode reduces lsof startup overhead, so it is more effi-
cient to use this mode than to call lsof repetitively from a
shell script, for example.
To use repeat mode most efficiently, accompany +|-r with spec-
ification of other lsof selection options, so the amount of
kernel memory access lsof does will be kept to a minimum. Op-
tions that filter at the process level - e.g., -c, -g, -p, -u
- are the most efficient selectors.
Repeat mode is useful when coupled with field output (see the
-F, option description) and a supervising awk or Perl script,
or a C program.
-R directs lsof to list the Parent Process IDentification number
in the PPID column.
-s [p:s] s alone directs lsof to display file size at all times. It
causes the SIZE/OFF output column title to be changed to SIZE.
If the file does not have a size, nothing is displayed.
The optional -s p:s form is available only for selected di-
alects, and only when the -h or -? help output lists it.
When the optional form is available, the s may be followed by
a protocol name (p), either TCP or UDP, a colon (`:') and a
comma-separated protocol state name list, the option causes
open TCP and UDP files to be excluded if their state name(s)
are in the list (s) preceded by a `^'; or included if their
name(s) are not preceded by a `^'.
Dialects that support this option may support only one proto-
col. When an unsupported protocol is specified, a message
will be displayed indicating state names for the protocol are
unavailable.
When an inclusion list is defined, only network files with
state names in the list will be present in the lsof output.
Thus, specifying one state name means that only network files
with that lone state name will be listed.
Case is unimportant in the protocol or state names, but there
may be no spaces and the colon (`:') separating the protocol
name (p) and the state name list (s) is required.
If only TCP and UDP files are to be listed, as controlled by
the specified exclusions and inclusions, the -i option must be
specified, too. If only a single protocol's files are to be
listed, add its name as an argument to the -i option.
For example, to list only network files with TCP state LISTEN,
use:
-iTCP -sTCP:LISTEN
Or, for example, to list network files with all UDP states ex-
cept Idle, use:
-iUDP -sUDP:^Idle
State names vary with UNIX dialects, so it's not possible to
provide a complete list. Some common TCP state names are:
CLOSED, IDLE, BOUND, LISTEN, ESTABLISHED, SYN_SENT, SYN_RCDV,
ESTABLISHED, CLOSE_WAIT, FIN_WAIT1, CLOSING, LAST_ACK,
FIN_WAIT_2, and TIME_WAIT. Two common UDP state names are Un-
bound and Idle.
See the lsof FAQ (The FAQ section gives its location.) for
more information on how to use protocol state exclusion and
inclusion, including examples.
The -o (without a following decimal digit count) and -s option
(without a following protocol and state name list) are mutu-
ally exclusive; they can't both be specified. When neither is
specified, lsof displays whatever value - size or offset - is
appropriate and available for the type of file.
Since some types of files don't have true sizes - sockets, FI-
FOs, pipes, etc. - lsof displays for their sizes the content
amounts in their associated kernel buffers, if possible.
-S [t] specifies an optional time-out seconds value for kernel func-
tions - lstat(2), readlink(2), and stat(2) - that might other-
wise deadlock. The minimum for t is two; the default, fif-
teen; when no value is specified, the default is used.
See the BLOCKS AND TIMEOUTS section for more information.
-T [t] controls the reporting of some TCP/TPI information, also re-
ported by netstat(1), following the network addresses. In
normal output the information appears in parentheses, each
item except TCP or TPI state name identified by a keyword,
followed by `=', separated from others by a single space:
<TCP or TPI state name>
QR=<read queue length>
QS=<send queue length>
SO=<socket options and values>
SS=<socket states>
TF=<TCP flags and values>
WR=<window read length>
WW=<window write length>
Not all values are reported for all UNIX dialects. Items val-
ues (when available) are reported after the item name and '='.
When the field output mode is in effect (See OUTPUT FOR OTHER
PROGRAMS.) each item appears as a field with a `T' leading
character.
-T with no following key characters disables TCP/TPI informa-
tion reporting.
-T with following characters selects the reporting of specific
TCP/TPI information:
f selects reporting of socket options,
states and values, and TCP flags and
values.
q selects queue length reporting.
s selects connection state reporting.
w selects window size reporting.
Not all selections are enabled for some UNIX dialects. State
may be selected for all dialects and is reported by default.
The -h or -? help output for the -T option will show what se-
lections may be used with the UNIX dialect.
When -T is used to select information - i.e., it is followed
by one or more selection characters - the displaying of state
is disabled by default, and it must be explicitly selected
again in the characters following -T. (In effect, then, the
default is equivalent to -Ts.) For example, if queue lengths
and state are desired, use -Tqs.
Socket options, socket states, some socket values, TCP flags
and one TCP value may be reported (when available in the UNIX
dialect) in the form of the names that commonly appear after
SO_, so_, SS_, TCP_ and TF_ in the dialect's header files -
most often <sys/socket.h>, <sys/socketvar.h> and
<netinet/tcp_var.h>. Consult those header files for the mean-
ing of the flags, options, states and values.
``SO='' precedes socket options and values; ``SS='', socket
states; and ``TF='', TCP flags and values.
If a flag or option has a value, the value will follow an '='
and the name -- e.g., ``SO=LINGER=5'', ``SO=QLIM=5'',
``TF=MSS=512''. The following seven values may be reported:
Name
Reported Description (Common Symbol)
KEEPALIVE keep alive time (SO_KEEPALIVE)
LINGER linger time (SO_LINGER)
MSS maximum segment size (TCP_MAXSEG)
PQLEN partial listen queue connections
QLEN established listen queue connections
QLIM established listen queue limit
RCVBUF receive buffer length (SO_RCVBUF)
SNDBUF send buffer length (SO_SNDBUF)
Details on what socket options and values, socket states, and
TCP flags and values may be displayed for particular UNIX di-
alects may be found in the answer to the ``Why doesn't lsof
report socket options, socket states, and TCP flags and values
for my dialect?'' and ``Why doesn't lsof report the partial
listen queue connection count for my dialect?'' questions in
the lsof FAQ (The FAQ section gives its location.) On Linux
this option also prints the state of UNIX domain sockets.
-t produce terse output comprising only process identifiers
(without a header), so that it is easy to use programmati-
cally. e.g.
# reload anything using old SSL
lsof -t /lib/*/libssl.so.* | xargs -r kill -HUP
# get list of processes and then iterate over them (Bash only)
mapfile -t pids < <(
lsof -wt /var/log/your.log
)
for pid in "${pids[@]}" ; do
your_command -p "$pid"
done
The -t option implies the -w option.
-u s selects the listing of files for the user whose login names or
user ID numbers are in the comma-separated set s - e.g.,
``abe'', or ``548,root''. (There should be no spaces in the
set.)
Multiple login names or user ID numbers are joined in a single
ORed set before participating in AND option selection.
If a login name or user ID is preceded by a `^', it becomes a
negation - i.e., files of processes owned by the login name or
user ID will never be listed. A negated login name or user ID
selection is neither ANDed nor ORed with other selections; it
is applied before all other selections and absolutely excludes
the listing of the files of the process. For example, to di-
rect lsof to exclude the listing of files belonging to root
processes, specify ``-u^root'' or ``-u^0''.
-U selects the listing of UNIX domain socket files.
-v selects the listing of lsof version information, including:
revision number; when the lsof binary was constructed; who
constructed the binary and where; the name of the compiler
used to construct the lsof binary; the version number of the
compiler when readily available; the compiler and loader flags
used to construct the lsof binary; and system information,
typically the output of uname's -a option.
-V directs lsof to indicate the items it was asked to list and
failed to find - command names, file names, Internet addresses
or files, login names, NFS files, PIDs, PGIDs, and UIDs.
When other options are ANDed to search options, or com-
pile-time options restrict the listing of some files, lsof may
not report that it failed to find a search item when an ANDed
option or compile-time option prevents the listing of the open
file containing the located search item.
For example, ``lsof -V -iTCP@foobar -a -d 999'' may not report
a failure to locate open files at ``TCP@foobar'' and may not
list any, if none have a file descriptor number of 999. A
similar situation arises when HASSECURITY and HASNOSOCKSECU-
RITY are defined at compile time and they prevent the listing
of open files.
+|-w Enables (+) or disables (-) the suppression of warning mes-
sages.
The lsof builder may choose to have warning messages disabled
or enabled by default. The default warning message state is
indicated in the output of the -h or -? option. Disabling
warning messages when they are already disabled or enabling
them when already enabled is acceptable.
The -t option implies the -w option.
-x [fl] may accompany the +d and +D options to direct their processing
to cross over symbolic links and|or file system mount points
encountered when scanning the directory (+d) or directory tree
(+D).
If -x is specified by itself without a following parameter,
cross-over processing of both symbolic links and file system
mount points is enabled. Note that when -x is specified with-
out a parameter, the next argument must begin with '-' or '+'.
The optional 'f' parameter enables file system mount point
cross-over processing; 'l', symbolic link cross-over process-
ing.
The -x option may not be supplied without also supplying a +d
or +D option.
-X This is a dialect-specific option.
AIX:
This IBM AIX RISC/System 6000 option requests the reporting of
executed text file and shared library references.
WARNING: because this option uses the kernel readx() function,
its use on a busy AIX system might cause an application
process to hang so completely that it can neither be killed
nor stopped. I have never seen this happen or had a report of
its happening, but I think there is a remote possibility it
could happen.
By default use of readx() is disabled. On AIX 5L and above
lsof may need setuid-root permission to perform the actions
this option requests.
The lsof builder may specify that the -X option be restricted
to processes whose real UID is root. If that has been done,
the -X option will not appear in the -h or -? help output un-
less the real UID of the lsof process is root. The default
lsof distribution allows any UID to specify -X, so by default
it will appear in the help output.
When AIX readx() use is disabled, lsof may not be able to re-
port information for all text and loader file references, but
it may also avoid exacerbating an AIX kernel directory search
kernel error, known as the Stale Segment ID bug.
The readx() function, used by lsof or any other program to ac-
cess some sections of kernel virtual memory, can trigger the
Stale Segment ID bug. It can cause the kernel's dir_search()
function to believe erroneously that part of an in-memory copy
of a file system directory has been zeroed. Another applica-
tion process, distinct from lsof, asking the kernel to search
the directory - e.g., by using open(2) - can cause
dir_search() to loop forever, thus hanging the application
process.
Consult the lsof FAQ (The FAQ section gives its location.)
and the 00README file of the lsof distribution for a more com-
plete description of the Stale Segment ID bug, its APAR, and
methods for defining readx() use when compiling lsof.
Linux:
This Linux option requests that lsof skip the reporting of in-
formation on all open TCP, UDP and UDPLITE IPv4 and IPv6
files.
This Linux option is most useful when the system has an ex-
tremely large number of open TCP, UDP and UDPLITE files, the
processing of whose information in the /proc/net/tcp* and
/proc/net/udp* files would take lsof a long time, and whose
reporting is not of interest.
Use this option with care and only when you are sure that the
information you want lsof to display isn't associated with
open TCP, UDP or UDPLITE socket files.
Solaris 10 and above:
This Solaris 10 and above option requests the reporting of
cached paths for files that have been deleted - i.e., removed
with rm(1) or unlink(2).
The cached path is followed by the string `` (deleted)'' to
indicate that the path by which the file was opened has been
deleted.
Because intervening changes made to the path - i.e., renames
with mv(1) or rename(2) - are not recorded in the cached path,
what lsof reports is only the path by which the file was
opened, not its possibly different final path.
-z [z] specifies how Solaris 10 and higher zone information is to be
handled.
Without a following argument - e.g., NO z - the option speci-
fies that zone names are to be listed in the ZONE output col-
umn.
The -z option may be followed by a zone name, z. That causes
lsof to list only open files for processes in that zone. Mul-
tiple -z z option and argument pairs may be specified to form
a list of named zones. Any open file of any process in any of
the zones will be listed, subject to other conditions speci-
fied by other options and arguments.
-Z [Z] specifies how SELinux security contexts are to be handled. It
and 'Z' field output character support are inhibited when
SELinux is disabled in the running Linux kernel. See OUTPUT
FOR OTHER PROGRAMS for more information on the 'Z' field out-
put character.
Without a following argument - e.g., NO Z - the option speci-
fies that security contexts are to be listed in the SECU-
RITY-CONTEXT output column.
The -Z option may be followed by a wildcard security context
name, Z. That causes lsof to list only open files for pro-
cesses in that security context. Multiple -Z Z option and ar-
gument pairs may be specified to form a list of security con-
texts. Any open file of any process in any of the security
contexts will be listed, subject to other conditions specified
by other options and arguments. Note that Z can be A:B:C or
*:B:C or A:B:* or *:*:C to match against the A:B:C context.
-- The double minus sign option is a marker that signals the end
of the keyed options. It may be used, for example, when the
first file name begins with a minus sign. It may also be used
when the absence of a value for the last keyed option must be
signified by the presence of a minus sign in the following op-
tion and before the start of the file names.
names These are path names of specific files to list. Symbolic
links are resolved before use. The first name may be sepa-
rated from the preceding options with the ``--'' option.
If a name is the mounted-on directory of a file system or the
device of the file system, lsof will list all the files open
on the file system. To be considered a file system, the name
must match a mounted-on directory name in mount(8) output, or
match the name of a block device associated with a mounted-on
directory name. The +|-f option may be used to force lsof to
consider a name a file system identifier (+f) or a simple file
(-f).
If name is a path to a directory that is not the mounted-on
directory name of a file system, it is treated just as a regu-
lar file is treated - i.e., its listing is restricted to pro-
cesses that have it open as a file or as a process-specific
directory, such as the root or current working directory. To
request that lsof look for open files inside a directory name,
use the +d s and +D D options.
If a name is the base name of a family of multiplexed files -
e.g, AIX's /dev/pt[cs] - lsof will list all the associated
multiplexed files on the device that are open - e.g.,
/dev/pt[cs]/1, /dev/pt[cs]/2, etc.
If a name is a UNIX domain socket name, lsof will usually
search for it by the characters of the name alone - exactly as
it is specified and is recorded in the kernel socket struc-
ture. (See the next paragraph for an exception to that rule
for Linux.) Specifying a relative path - e.g., ./file - in
place of the file's absolute path - e.g., /tmp/file - won't
work because lsof must match the characters you specify with
what it finds in the kernel UNIX domain socket structures.
If a name is a Linux UNIX domain socket name, in one case lsof
is able to search for it by its device and inode number, al-
lowing name to be a relative path. The case requires that the
absolute path -- i.e., one beginning with a slash ('/') be
used by the process that created the socket, and hence be
stored in the /proc/net/unix file; and it requires that lsof
be able to obtain the device and node numbers of both the ab-
solute path in /proc/net/unix and name via successful stat(2)
system calls. When those conditions are met, lsof will be
able to search for the UNIX domain socket when some path to it
is is specified in name. Thus, for example, if the path is
/dev/log, and an lsof search is initiated when the working di-
rectory is /dev, then name could be ./log.
If a name is none of the above, lsof will list any open files
whose device and inode match that of the specified path name.
If you have also specified the -b option, the only names you
may safely specify are file systems for which your mount table
supplies alternate device numbers. See the AVOIDING KERNEL
BLOCKS and ALTERNATE DEVICE NUMBERS sections for more informa-
tion.
Multiple file names are joined in a single ORed set before
participating in AND option selection.
AFS
Lsof supports the recognition of AFS files for these dialects (and AFS
versions):
AIX 4.1.4 (AFS 3.4a)
HP-UX 9.0.5 (AFS 3.4a)
Linux 1.2.13 (AFS 3.3)
Solaris 2.[56] (AFS 3.4a)
It may recognize AFS files on other versions of these dialects, but has
not been tested there. Depending on how AFS is implemented, lsof may
recognize AFS files in other dialects, or may have difficulties recog-
nizing AFS files in the supported dialects.
Lsof may have trouble identifying all aspects of AFS files in supported
dialects when AFS kernel support is implemented via dynamic modules
whose addresses do not appear in the kernel's variable name list. In
that case, lsof may have to guess at the identity of AFS files, and
might not be able to obtain volume information from the kernel that is
needed for calculating AFS volume node numbers. When lsof can't com-
pute volume node numbers, it reports blank in the NODE column.
The -A A option is available in some dialect implementations of lsof
for specifying the name list file where dynamic module kernel addresses
may be found. When this option is available, it will be listed in the
lsof help output, presented in response to the -h or -?
See the lsof FAQ (The FAQ section gives its location.) for more infor-
mation about dynamic modules, their symbols, and how they affect lsof
options.
Because AFS path lookups don't seem to participate in the kernel's name
cache operations, lsof can't identify path name components for AFS
files.
SECURITY
Lsof has three features that may cause security concerns. First, its
default compilation mode allows anyone to list all open files with it.
Second, by default it creates a user-readable and user-writable device
cache file in the home directory of the real user ID that executes
lsof. (The list-all-open-files and device cache features may be dis-
abled when lsof is compiled.) Third, its -k and -m options name alter-
nate kernel name list or memory files.
Restricting the listing of all open files is controlled by the com-
pile-time HASSECURITY and HASNOSOCKSECURITY options. When HASSECURITY
is defined, lsof will allow only the root user to list all open files.
The non-root user may list only open files of processes with the same
user IDentification number as the real user ID number of the lsof
process (the one that its user logged on with).
However, if HASSECURITY and HASNOSOCKSECURITY are both defined, anyone
may list open socket files, provided they are selected with the -i op-
tion.
When HASSECURITY is not defined, anyone may list all open files.
Help output, presented in response to the -h or -? option, gives the
status of the HASSECURITY and HASNOSOCKSECURITY definitions.
See the Security section of the 00README file of the lsof distribution
for information on building lsof with the HASSECURITY and HASNOSOCKSE-
CURITY options enabled.
Creation and use of a user-readable and user-writable device cache file
is controlled by the compile-time HASDCACHE option. See the DEVICE
CACHE FILE section and the sections that follow it for details on how
its path is formed. For security considerations it is important to
note that in the default lsof distribution, if the real user ID under
which lsof is executed is root, the device cache file will be written
in root's home directory - e.g., / or /root. When HASDCACHE is not de-
fined, lsof does not write or attempt to read a device cache file.
When HASDCACHE is defined, the lsof help output, presented in response
to the -h, -D?, or -? options, will provide device cache file handling
information. When HASDCACHE is not defined, the -h or -? output will
have no -D option description.
Before you decide to disable the device cache file feature - enabling
it improves the performance of lsof by reducing the startup overhead of
examining all the nodes in /dev (or /devices) - read the discussion of
it in the 00DCACHE file of the lsof distribution and the lsof FAQ (The
FAQ section gives its location.)
WHEN IN DOUBT, YOU CAN TEMPORARILY DISABLE THE USE OF THE DEVICE CACHE
FILE WITH THE -Di OPTION.
When lsof user declares alternate kernel name list or memory files with
the -k and -m options, lsof checks the user's authority to read them
with access(2). This is intended to prevent whatever special power
lsof's modes might confer on it from letting it read files not normally
accessible via the authority of the real user ID.
OUTPUT
This section describes the information lsof lists for each open file.
See the OUTPUT FOR OTHER PROGRAMS section for additional information on
output that can be processed by another program.
Lsof only outputs printable (declared so by isprint(3)) 8 bit charac-
ters. Non-printable characters are printed in one of three forms: the
C ``\[bfrnt]'' form; the control character `^' form (e.g., ``^@''); or
hexadecimal leading ``\x'' form (e.g., ``\xab''). Space is non-print-
able in the COMMAND column (``\x20'') and printable elsewhere.
For some dialects - if HASSETLOCALE is defined in the dialect's ma-
chine.h header file - lsof will print the extended 8 bit characters of
a language locale. The lsof process must be supplied a language locale
environment variable (e.g., LANG) whose value represents a known lan-
guage locale in which the extended characters are considered printable
by isprint(3). Otherwise lsof considers the extended characters non-
printable and prints them according to its rules for non-printable
characters, stated above. Consult your dialect's setlocale(3) man page
for the names of other environment variables that may be used in place
of LANG - e.g., LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, etc.
Lsof's language locale support for a dialect also covers wide charac-
ters - e.g., UTF-8 - when HASSETLOCALE and HASWIDECHAR are defined in
the dialect's machine.h header file, and when a suitable language lo-
cale has been defined in the appropriate environment variable for the
lsof process. Wide characters are printable under those conditions if
iswprint(3) reports them to be. If HASSETLOCALE, HASWIDECHAR and a
suitable language locale aren't defined, or if iswprint(3) reports wide
characters that aren't printable, lsof considers the wide characters
non-printable and prints each of their 8 bits according to its rules
for non-printable characters, stated above.
Consult the answers to the "Language locale support" questions in the
lsof FAQ (The FAQ section gives its location.) for more information.
Lsof dynamically sizes the output columns each time it runs, guarantee-
ing that each column is a minimum size. It also guarantees that each
column is separated from its predecessor by at least one space.
COMMAND contains the first nine characters of the name of the UNIX
command associated with the process. If a non-zero w value
is specified to the +c w option, the column contains the
first w characters of the name of the UNIX command associ-
ated with the process up to the limit of characters supplied
to lsof by the UNIX dialect. (See the description of the +c
w command or the lsof FAQ for more information. The FAQ
section gives its location.)
If w is less than the length of the column title, ``COM-
MAND'', it will be raised to that length.
If a zero w value is specified to the +c w option, the col-
umn contains all the characters of the name of the UNIX com-
mand associated with the process.
All command name characters maintained by the kernel in its
structures are displayed in field output when the command
name descriptor (`c') is specified. See the OUTPUT FOR
OTHER COMMANDS section for information on selecting field
output and the associated command name descriptor.
PID is the Process IDentification number of the process.
TID is the task (thread) IDentification number, if task (thread)
reporting is supported by the dialect and a task (thread) is
being listed. (If help output - i.e., the output of the -h
or -? options - shows this option, then task (thread) re-
porting is supported by the dialect.)
A blank TID column in Linux indicates a process - i.e., a
non-task.
TASKCMD is the task command name. Generally this will be the same
as the process named in the COMMAND column, but some task
implementations (e.g., Linux) permit a task to change its
command name.
The TASKCMD column width is subject to the same size limita-
tion as the COMMAND column.
ZONE is the Solaris 10 and higher zone name. This column must be
selected with the -z option.
SECURITY-CONTEXT
is the SELinux security context. This column must be se-
lected with the -Z option. Note that the -Z option is in-
hibited when SELinux is disabled in the running Linux ker-
nel.
PPID is the Parent Process IDentification number of the process.
It is only displayed when the -R option has been specified.
PGID is the process group IDentification number associated with
the process. It is only displayed when the -g option has
been specified.
USER is the user ID number or login name of the user to whom the
process belongs, usually the same as reported by ps(1).
However, on Linux USER is the user ID number or login that
owns the directory in /proc where lsof finds information
about the process. Usually that is the same value reported
by ps(1), but may differ when the process has changed its
effective user ID. (See the -l option description for in-
formation on when a user ID number or login name is dis-
played.)
FD is the File Descriptor number of the file or:
cwd current working directory;
Lnn library references (AIX);
err FD information error (see NAME column);
jld jail directory (FreeBSD);
ltx shared library text (code and data);
Mxx hex memory-mapped type number xx.
m86 DOS Merge mapped file;
mem memory-mapped file;
mmap memory-mapped device;
pd parent directory;
rtd root directory;
tr kernel trace file (OpenBSD);
txt program text (code and data);
v86 VP/ix mapped file;
FD is followed by one of these characters, describing the
mode under which the file is open:
r for read access;
w for write access;
u for read and write access;
space if mode unknown and no lock
character follows;
`-' if mode unknown and lock
character follows.
The mode character is followed by one of these lock charac-
ters, describing the type of lock applied to the file:
N for a Solaris NFS lock of unknown type;
r for read lock on part of the file;
R for a read lock on the entire file;
w for a write lock on part of the file;
W for a write lock on the entire file;
u for a read and write lock of any length;
U for a lock of unknown type;
x for an SCO OpenServer Xenix lock on part of the
file;
X for an SCO OpenServer Xenix lock on the entire file;
space if there is no lock.
See the LOCKS section for more information on the lock in-
formation character.
The FD column contents constitutes a single field for pars-
ing in post-processing scripts.

NODE-ID (or INODE-ADDR for some dialects) contains a unique identi-
fier for the file node (usually the kernel vnode or inode
address, but also occasionally a concatenation of device and
node number) when n has been specified to +f;
DEVICE contains the device numbers, separated by commas, for a
character special, block special, regular, directory or NFS
file;
or ``memory'' for a memory file system node under Tru64
UNIX;
or the address of the private data area of a Solaris socket
stream;
or a kernel reference address that identifies the file (The
kernel reference address may be used for FIFO's, for exam-
ple.);
or the base address or device name of a Linux AX.25 socket
device.
Usually only the lower thirty two bits of Tru64 UNIX kernel
addresses are displayed.
SIZE, SIZE/OFF, or OFFSET
is the size of the file or the file offset in bytes. A
value is displayed in this column only if it is available.
Lsof displays whatever value - size or offset - is appropri-
ate for the type of the file and the version of lsof.
On some UNIX dialects lsof can't obtain accurate or consis-
tent file offset information from its kernel data sources,
sometimes just for particular kinds of files (e.g., socket
files.) In other cases, files don't have true sizes - e.g.,
sockets, FIFOs, pipes - so lsof displays for their sizes the
content amounts it finds in their kernel buffer descriptors
(e.g., socket buffer size counts or TCP/IP window sizes.)
Consult the lsof FAQ (The FAQ section gives its location.)
for more information.
The file size is displayed in decimal; the offset is nor-
mally displayed in decimal with a leading ``0t'' if it con-
tains 8 digits or less; in hexadecimal with a leading ``0x''
if it is longer than 8 digits. (Consult the -o o option de-
scription for information on when 8 might default to some
other value.)
Thus the leading ``0t'' and ``0x'' identify an offset when
the column may contain both a size and an offset (i.e., its
title is SIZE/OFF).
If the -o option is specified, lsof always displays the file
offset (or nothing if no offset is available) and labels the
column OFFSET. The offset always begins with ``0t'' or
``0x'' as described above.
The lsof user can control the switch from ``0t'' to ``0x''
with the -o o option. Consult its description for more in-
formation.
If the -s option is specified, lsof always displays the file
size (or nothing if no size is available) and labels the
column SIZE. The -o and -s options are mutually exclusive;
they can't both be specified.
For files that don't have a fixed size - e.g., don't reside
on a disk device - lsof will display appropriate information
about the current size or position of the file if it is
available in the kernel structures that define the file.
NLINK contains the file link count when +L has been specified;
NODE is the node number of a local file;
or the inode number of an NFS file in the server host;
or the Internet protocol type - e.g, ``TCP'';
or ``STR'' for a stream;
or ``CCITT'' for an HP-UX x.25 socket;
or the IRQ or inode number of a Linux AX.25 socket device.
NAME is the name of the mount point and file system on which the
file resides;
or the name of a file specified in the names option (after
any symbolic links have been resolved);
or the name of a character special or block special device;
or the local and remote Internet addresses of a network
file; the local host name or IP number is followed by a
colon (':'), the port, ``->'', and the two-part remote ad-
dress; IP addresses may be reported as numbers or names, de-
pending on the +|-M, -n, and -P options; colon-separated
IPv6 numbers are enclosed in square brackets; IPv4 IN-
ADDR_ANY and IPv6 IN6_IS_ADDR_UNSPECIFIED addresses, and
zero port numbers are represented by an asterisk ('*'); a
UDP destination address may be followed by the amount of
time elapsed since the last packet was sent to the destina-
tion; TCP, UDP and UDPLITE remote addresses may be followed
by TCP/TPI information in parentheses - state (e.g., ``(ES-
TABLISHED)'', ``(Unbound)''), queue sizes, and window sizes
(not all dialects) - in a fashion similar to what netstat(1)
reports; see the -T option description or the description of
the TCP/TPI field in OUTPUT FOR OTHER PROGRAMS for more in-
formation on state, queue size, and window size;
or the address or name of a UNIX domain socket, possibly in-
cluding a stream clone device name, a file system object's
path name, local and foreign kernel addresses, socket pair
information, and a bound vnode address;
or the local and remote mount point names of an NFS file;
or ``STR'', followed by the stream name;
or a stream character device name, followed by ``->'' and
the stream name or a list of stream module names, separated
by ``->'';
or ``STR:'' followed by the SCO OpenServer stream device and
module names, separated by ``->'';
or system directory name, `` -- '', and as many components
of the path name as lsof can find in the kernel's name cache
for selected dialects (See the KERNEL NAME CACHE section for
more information.);
or ``PIPE->'', followed by a Solaris kernel pipe destination
address;
or ``COMMON:'', followed by the vnode device information
structure's device name, for a Solaris common vnode;
or the address family, followed by a slash (`/'), followed
by fourteen comma-separated bytes of a non-Internet raw
socket address;
or the HP-UX x.25 local address, followed by the virtual
connection number (if any), followed by the remote address
(if any);
or ``(dead)'' for disassociated Tru64 UNIX files - typically
terminal files that have been flagged with the TIOCNOTTY
ioctl and closed by daemons;
or ``rd=<offset>'' and ``wr=<offset>'' for the values of the
read and write offsets of a FIFO;
or ``clone n:/dev/event'' for SCO OpenServer file clones of
the /dev/event device, where n is the minor device number of
the file;
or ``(socketpair: n)'' for a Solaris 2.6, 8, 9 or 10 UNIX
domain socket, created by the socketpair(3N) network func-
tion;
or ``no PCB'' for socket files that do not have a protocol
block associated with them, optionally followed by ``,
CANTSENDMORE'' if sending on the socket has been disabled,
or ``, CANTRCVMORE'' if receiving on the socket has been
disabled (e.g., by the shutdown(2) function);
or the local and remote addresses of a Linux IPX socket file
in the form <net>:[<node>:]<port>, followed in parentheses
by the transmit and receive queue sizes, and the connection
state;
or ``dgram'' or ``stream'' for the type UnixWare 7.1.1 and
above in-kernel UNIX domain sockets, followed by a colon
(':') and the local path name when available, followed by
``->'' and the remote path name or kernel socket address in
hexadecimal when available;
or the association value, association index, endpoint value,
local address, local port, remote address and remote port
for Linux SCTP sockets;
or ``protocol: '' followed by the Linux socket's protocol
attribute.
For dialects that support a ``namefs'' file system, allowing one file
to be attached to another with fattach(3C), lsof will add ``(FA:<ad-
dress1><direction><address2>)'' to the NAME column. <address1> and
<address2> are hexadecimal vnode addresses. <direction> will be ``<-''
if <address2> has been fattach'ed to this vnode whose address is <ad-
dress1>; and ``->'' if <address1>, the vnode address of this vnode, has
been fattach'ed to <address2>. <address1> may be omitted if it already
appears in the DEVICE column.
Lsof may add two parenthetical notes to the NAME column for open So-
laris 10 files: ``(?)'' if lsof considers the path name of questionable
accuracy; and ``(deleted)'' if the -X option has been specified and
lsof detects the open file's path name has been deleted. Consult the
lsof FAQ (The FAQ section gives its location.) for more information on
these NAME column additions.
LOCKS
Lsof can't adequately report the wide variety of UNIX dialect file
locks in a single character. What it reports in a single character is
a compromise between the information it finds in the kernel and the
limitations of the reporting format.
Moreover, when a process holds several byte level locks on a file, lsof
only reports the status of the first lock it encounters. If it is a
byte level lock, then the lock character will be reported in lower case
- i.e., `r', `w', or `x' - rather than the upper case equivalent re-
ported for a full file lock.
Generally lsof can only report on locks held by local processes on lo-
cal files. When a local process sets a lock on a remotely mounted
(e.g., NFS) file, the remote server host usually records the lock
state. One exception is Solaris - at some patch levels of 2.3, and in
all versions above 2.4, the Solaris kernel records information on re-
mote locks in local structures.
Lsof has trouble reporting locks for some UNIX dialects. Consult the
BUGS section of this manual page or the lsof FAQ (The FAQ section gives
its location.) for more information.
OUTPUT FOR OTHER PROGRAMS
When the -F option is specified, lsof produces output that is suitable
for processing by another program - e.g, an awk or Perl script, or a C
program.
Each unit of information is output in a field that is identified with a
leading character and terminated by a NL (012) (or a NUL (000) if the 0
(zero) field identifier character is specified.) The data of the field
follows immediately after the field identification character and ex-
tends to the field terminator.
It is possible to think of field output as process and file sets. A
process set begins with a field whose identifier is `p' (for process
IDentifier (PID)). It extends to the beginning of the next PID field
or the beginning of the first file set of the process, whichever comes
first. Included in the process set are fields that identify the com-
mand, the process group IDentification (PGID) number, the task (thread)
ID (TID), and the user ID (UID) number or login name.
A file set begins with a field whose identifier is `f' (for file de-
scriptor). It is followed by lines that describe the file's access
mode, lock state, type, device, size, offset, inode, protocol, name and
stream module names. It extends to the beginning of the next file or
process set, whichever comes first.
When the NUL (000) field terminator has been selected with the 0 (zero)
field identifier character, lsof ends each process and file set with a
NL (012) character.
Lsof always produces one field, the PID (`p') field. In repeat mode,
the marker (`m') is also produced. All other fields may be declared
optionally in the field identifier character list that follows the -F
option. When a field selection character identifies an item lsof does
not normally list - e.g., PPID, selected with -R - specification of the
field character - e.g., ``-FR'' - also selects the listing of the item.
Lsof version from 4.88 to 4.93.2 always produced one more field, the
file descriptor (`f') field. However, lsof in this version doesn't pro-
duce it. This change is for supporting the use case that a user needs
only the PID field, and doesn't need the file descriptor field. Specify
`f' explicitly if you need the field.
It is entirely possible to select a set of fields that cannot easily be
parsed - e.g., if the field descriptor field is not selected, it may be
difficult to identify file sets. To help you avoid this difficulty,
lsof supports the -F option; it selects the output of all fields with
NL terminators (the -F0 option pair selects the output of all fields
with NUL terminators). For compatibility reasons neither -F nor -F0
select the raw device field.
These are the fields that lsof will produce. The single character
listed first is the field identifier.

user structure)

WW=<window write size> (not all dialects)
(TCP/TPI information isn't reported for all supported
UNIX dialects. The -h or -? help output for the
-T option will show what TCP/TPI reporting can be
requested.)
u process user ID
z Solaris 10 and higher zone name
Z SELinux security context (inhibited when SELinux is disabled)
0 use NUL field terminator character in place of NL
1-9 dialect-specific field identifiers (The output
of -F? identifies the information to be found
in dialect-specific fields.)
You can get on-line help information on these characters and their de-
scriptions by specifying the -F? option pair. (Escape the `?' charac-
ter as your shell requires.) Additional information on field content
can be found in the OUTPUT section.
As an example, ``-F pcfn'' will select the process ID (`p'), command
name (`c'), file descriptor (`f') and file name (`n') fields with an NL
field terminator character; ``-F pcfn0'' selects the same output with a
NUL (000) field terminator character.
Lsof doesn't produce all fields for every process or file set, only
those that are available. Some fields are mutually exclusive: file de-
vice characters and file major/minor device numbers; file inode number
and protocol name; file name and stream identification; file size and
offset. One or the other member of these mutually exclusive sets will
appear in field output, but not both.
Normally lsof ends each field with a NL (012) character. The 0 (zero)
field identifier character may be specified to change the field termi-
nator character to a NUL (000). A NUL terminator may be easier to
process with xargs (1), for example, or with programs whose quoting
mechanisms may not easily cope with the range of characters in the
field output. When the NUL field terminator is in use, lsof ends each
process and file set with a NL (012).
Three aids to producing programs that can process lsof field output are
included in the lsof distribution. The first is a C header file,
lsof_fields.h, that contains symbols for the field identification char-
acters, indexes for storing them in a table, and explanation strings
that may be compiled into programs. Lsof uses this header file.
The second aid is a set of sample scripts that process field output,
written in awk, Perl 4, and Perl 5. They're located in the scripts
subdirectory of the lsof distribution.
The third aid is the C library used for the lsof test suite. The test
suite is written in C and uses field output to validate the correct op-
eration of lsof. The library can be found in the tests/LTlib.c file of
the lsof distribution. The library uses the first aid, the
lsof_fields.h header file.
BLOCKS AND TIMEOUTS
Lsof can be blocked by some kernel functions that it uses - lstat(2),
readlink(2), and stat(2). These functions are stalled in the kernel,
for example, when the hosts where mounted NFS file systems reside be-
come inaccessible.
Lsof attempts to break these blocks with timers and child processes,
but the techniques are not wholly reliable. When lsof does manage to
break a block, it will report the break with an error message. The
messages may be suppressed with the -t and -w options.
The default timeout value may be displayed with the -h or -? option,
and it may be changed with the -S [t] option. The minimum for t is two
seconds, but you should avoid small values, since slow system respon-
siveness can cause short timeouts to expire unexpectedly and perhaps
stop lsof before it can produce any output.
When lsof has to break a block during its access of mounted file system
information, it normally continues, although with less information
available to display about open files.
Lsof can also be directed to avoid the protection of timers and child
processes when using the kernel functions that might block by specify-
ing the -O option. While this will allow lsof to start up with less
overhead, it exposes lsof completely to the kernel situations that
might block it. Use this option cautiously.
AVOIDING KERNEL BLOCKS
You can use the -b option to tell lsof to avoid using kernel functions
that would block. Some cautions apply.
First, using this option usually requires that your system supply al-
ternate device numbers in place of the device numbers that lsof would
normally obtain with the lstat(2) and stat(2) kernel functions. See
the ALTERNATE DEVICE NUMBERS section for more information on alternate
device numbers.
Second, you can't specify names for lsof to locate unless they're file
system names. This is because lsof needs to know the device and inode
numbers of files listed with names in the lsof options, and the -b op-
tion prevents lsof from obtaining them. Moreover, since lsof only has
device numbers for the file systems that have alternates, its ability
to locate files on file systems depends completely on the availability
and accuracy of the alternates. If no alternates are available, or if
they're incorrect, lsof won't be able to locate files on the named file
systems.
Third, if the names of your file system directories that lsof obtains
from your system's mount table are symbolic links, lsof won't be able
to resolve the links. This is because the -b option causes lsof to
avoid the kernel readlink(2) function it uses to resolve symbolic
links.
Finally, using the -b option causes lsof to issue warning messages when
it needs to use the kernel functions that the -b option directs it to
avoid. You can suppress these messages by specifying the -w option,
but if you do, you won't see the alternate device numbers reported in
the warning messages.
ALTERNATE DEVICE NUMBERS
On some dialects, when lsof has to break a block because it can't get
information about a mounted file system via the lstat(2) and stat(2)
kernel functions, or because you specified the -b option, lsof can ob-
tain some of the information it needs - the device number and possibly
the file system type - from the system mount table. When that is pos-
sible, lsof will report the device number it obtained. (You can sup-
press the report by specifying the -w option.)
You can assist this process if your mount table is supported with an
/etc/mtab or /etc/mnttab file that contains an options field by adding
a ``dev=xxxx'' field for mount points that do not have one in their op-
tions strings. Note: you must be able to edit the file - i.e., some
mount tables like recent Solaris /etc/mnttab or Linux /proc/mounts are
read-only and can't be modified.
You may also be able to supply device numbers using the +m and +m m op-
tions, provided they are supported by your dialect. Check the output
of lsof's -h or -? options to see if the +m and +m m options are
available.
The ``xxxx'' portion of the field is the hexadecimal value of the file
system's device number. (Consult the st_dev field of the output of the
lstat(2) and stat(2) functions for the appropriate values for your file
systems.) Here's an example from a Sun Solaris 2.6 /etc/mnttab for a
file system remotely mounted via NFS:
nfs ignore,noquota,dev=2a40001
There's an advantage to having ``dev=xxxx'' entries in your mount table
file, especially for file systems that are mounted from remote NFS
servers. When a remote server crashes and you want to identify its
users by running lsof on one of its clients, lsof probably won't be
able to get output from the lstat(2) and stat(2) functions for the file
system. If it can obtain the file system's device number from the
mount table, it will be able to display the files open on the crashed
NFS server.
Some dialects that do not use an ASCII /etc/mtab or /etc/mnttab file
for the mount table may still provide an alternative device number in
their internal mount tables. This includes AIX, Apple Darwin, FreeBSD,
NetBSD, OpenBSD, and Tru64 UNIX. Lsof knows how to obtain the alterna-
tive device number for these dialects and uses it when its attempt to
lstat(2) or stat(2) the file system is blocked.
If you're not sure your dialect supplies alternate device numbers for
file systems from its mount table, use this lsof incantation to see if
it reports any alternate device numbers:
lsof -b
Look for standard error file warning messages that begin ``assuming
"dev=xxxx" from ...''.
KERNEL NAME CACHE
Lsof is able to examine the kernel's name cache or use other kernel fa-
cilities (e.g., the ADVFS 4.x tag_to_path() function under Tru64 UNIX)
on some dialects for most file system types, excluding AFS, and extract
recently used path name components from it. (AFS file system path
lookups don't use the kernel's name cache; some Solaris VxFS file sys-
tem operations apparently don't use it, either.)
Lsof reports the complete paths it finds in the NAME column. If lsof
can't report all components in a path, it reports in the NAME column
the file system name, followed by a space, two `-' characters, another
space, and the name components it has located, separated by the `/'
character.
When lsof is run in repeat mode - i.e., with the -r option specified -
the extent to which it can report path name components for the same
file may vary from cycle to cycle. That's because other running pro-
cesses can cause the kernel to remove entries from its name cache and
replace them with others.
Lsof's use of the kernel name cache to identify the paths of files can
lead it to report incorrect components under some circumstances. This
can happen when the kernel name cache uses device and node number as a
key (e.g., SCO OpenServer) and a key on a rapidly changing file system
is reused. If the UNIX dialect's kernel doesn't purge the name cache
entry for a file when it is unlinked, lsof may find a reference to the
wrong entry in the cache. The lsof FAQ (The FAQ section gives its lo-
cation.) has more information on this situation.

Linux
NetBSD

If you want to know why lsof can't report path name components for some
dialects, see the lsof FAQ (The FAQ section gives its location.)
DEVICE CACHE FILE
Examining all members of the /dev (or /devices) node tree with stat(2)
functions can be time consuming. What's more, the information that
lsof needs - device number, inode number, and path - rarely changes.
Consequently, lsof normally maintains an ASCII text file of cached /dev
(or /devices) information (exception: the /proc-based Linux lsof where
it's not needed.) The local system administrator who builds lsof can
control the way the device cache file path is formed, selecting from
these options:
Path from the -D option;
Path from an environment variable;
System-wide path;
Personal path (the default);
Personal path, modified by an environment variable.
Consult the output of the -h, -D? , or -? help options for the current
state of device cache support. The help output lists the default
read-mode device cache file path that is in effect for the current in-
vocation of lsof. The -D? option output lists the read-only and write
device cache file paths, the names of any applicable environment vari-
ables, and the personal device cache path format.
Lsof can detect that the current device cache file has been acciden-
tally or maliciously modified by integrity checks, including the compu-
tation and verification of a sixteen bit Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC)
sum on the file's contents. When lsof senses something wrong with the
file, it issues a warning and attempts to remove the current cache file
and create a new copy, but only to a path that the process can legiti-
mately write.
The path from which a lsof process may attempt to read a device cache
file may not be the same as the path to which it can legitimately
write. Thus when lsof senses that it needs to update the device cache
file, it may choose a different path for writing it from the path from
which it read an incorrect or outdated version.
If available, the -Dr option will inhibit the writing of a new device
cache file. (It's always available when specified without a path name
argument.)
When a new device is added to the system, the device cache file may
need to be recreated. Since lsof compares the mtime of the device
cache file with the mtime and ctime of the /dev (or /devices) direc-
tory, it usually detects that a new device has been added; in that case
lsof issues a warning message and attempts to rebuild the device cache
file.
Whenever lsof writes a device cache file, it sets its ownership to the
real UID of the executing process, and its permission modes to 0600,
this restricting its reading and writing to the file's owner.
LSOF PERMISSIONS THAT AFFECT DEVICE CACHE FILE ACCESS
Two permissions of the lsof executable affect its ability to access de-
vice cache files. The permissions are set by the local system adminis-
trator when lsof is installed.
The first and rarer permission is setuid-root. It comes into effect
when lsof is executed; its effective UID is then root, while its real
(i.e., that of the logged-on user) UID is not. The lsof distribution
recommends that versions for these dialects run setuid-root.
HP-UX 11.11 and 11.23
Linux
The second and more common permission is setgid. It comes into effect
when the effective group IDentification number (GID) of the lsof
process is set to one that can access kernel memory devices - e.g.,
``kmem'', ``sys'', or ``system''.
An lsof process that has setgid permission usually surrenders the per-
mission after it has accessed the kernel memory devices. When it does
that, lsof can allow more liberal device cache path formations. The
lsof distribution recommends that versions for these dialects run set-
gid and be allowed to surrender setgid permission.

(Note: lsof for AIX 5L and above needs setuid-root permission if its -X
option is used.)
Lsof for these dialects does not support a device cache, so the permis-
sions given to the executable don't apply to the device cache file.
Linux
DEVICE CACHE FILE PATH FROM THE -D OPTION
The -D option provides limited means for specifying the device cache
file path. Its ? function will report the read-only and write device
cache file paths that lsof will use.
When the -D b, r, and u functions are available, you can use them to
request that the cache file be built in a specific location (b[path]);
read but not rebuilt (r[path]); or read and rebuilt (u[path]). The b,
r, and u functions are restricted under some conditions. They are re-
stricted when the lsof process is setuid-root. The path specified with
the r function is always read-only, even when it is available.
The b, r, and u functions are also restricted when the lsof process
runs setgid and lsof doesn't surrender the setgid permission. (See the
LSOF PERMISSIONS THAT AFFECT DEVICE CACHE FILE ACCESS section for a
list of implementations that normally don't surrender their setgid per-
mission.)
A further -D function, i (for ignore), is always available.
When available, the b function tells lsof to read device information
from the kernel with the stat(2) function and build a device cache file
at the indicated path.
When available, the r function tells lsof to read the device cache
file, but not update it. When a path argument accompanies -Dr, it
names the device cache file path. The r function is always available
when it is specified without a path name argument. If lsof is not run-
ning setuid-root and surrenders its setgid permission, a path name ar-
gument may accompany the r function.
When available, the u function tells lsof to attempt to read and use
the device cache file. If it can't read the file, or if it finds the
contents of the file incorrect or outdated, it will read information
from the kernel, and attempt to write an updated version of the device
cache file, but only to a path it considers legitimate for the lsof
process effective and real UIDs.
DEVICE CACHE PATH FROM AN ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE
Lsof's second choice for the device cache file is the contents of the
LSOFDEVCACHE environment variable. It avoids this choice if the lsof
process is setuid-root, or the real UID of the process is root.
A further restriction applies to a device cache file path taken from
the LSOFDEVCACHE environment variable: lsof will not write a device
cache file to the path if the lsof process doesn't surrender its setgid
permission. (See the LSOF PERMISSIONS THAT AFFECT DEVICE CACHE FILE
ACCESS section for information on implementations that don't surrender
their setgid permission.)
The local system administrator can disable the use of the LSOFDEVCACHE
environment variable or change its name when building lsof. Consult
the output of -D? for the environment variable's name.
SYSTEM-WIDE DEVICE CACHE PATH
The local system administrator may choose to have a system-wide device
cache file when building lsof. That file will generally be constructed
by a special system administration procedure when the system is booted
or when the contents of /dev or /devices) changes. If defined, it is
lsof's third device cache file path choice.
You can tell that a system-wide device cache file is in effect for your
local installation by examining the lsof help option output - i.e., the
output from the -h or -? option.
Lsof will never write to the system-wide device cache file path by de-
fault. It must be explicitly named with a -D function in a root-owned
procedure. Once the file has been written, the procedure must change
its permission modes to 0644 (owner-read and owner-write, group-read,
and other-read).
PERSONAL DEVICE CACHE PATH (DEFAULT)
The default device cache file path of the lsof distribution is one
recorded in the home directory of the real UID that executes lsof.
Added to the home directory is a second path component of the form
.lsof_hostname.
This is lsof's fourth device cache file path choice, and is usually the
default. If a system-wide device cache file path was defined when lsof
was built, this fourth choice will be applied when lsof can't find the
system-wide device cache file. This is the only time lsof uses two
paths when reading the device cache file.
The hostname part of the second component is the base name of the exe-
cuting host, as returned by gethostname(2). The base name is defined
to be the characters preceding the first `.' in the gethostname(2)
output, or all the gethostname(2) output if it contains no `.'.
The device cache file belongs to the user ID and is readable and
writable by the user ID alone - i.e., its modes are 0600. Each dis-
tinct real user ID on a given host that executes lsof has a distinct
device cache file. The hostname part of the path distinguishes device
cache files in an NFS-mounted home directory into which device cache
files are written from several different hosts.
The personal device cache file path formed by this method represents a
device cache file that lsof will attempt to read, and will attempt to
write should it not exist or should its contents be incorrect or out-
dated.
The -Dr option without a path name argument will inhibit the writing of
a new device cache file.
The -D? option will list the format specification for constructing the
personal device cache file. The conversions used in the format speci-
fication are described in the 00DCACHE file of the lsof distribution.
MODIFIED PERSONAL DEVICE CACHE PATH
If this option is defined by the local system administrator when lsof
is built, the LSOFPERSDCPATH environment variable contents may be used
to add a component of the personal device cache file path.
The LSOFPERSDCPATH variable contents are inserted in the path at the
place marked by the local system administrator with the ``%p'' conver-
sion in the HASPERSDC format specification of the dialect's machine.h
header file. (It's placed right after the home directory in the de-
fault lsof distribution.)
Thus, for example, if LSOFPERSDCPATH contains ``LSOF'', the home direc-
tory is ``/Homes/abe'', the host name is ``lsof.itap.purdue.edu'', and
the HASPERSDC format is the default (``%h/%p.lsof_%L''), the modified
personal device cache file path is:
/Homes/abe/LSOF/.lsof_vic
The LSOFPERSDCPATH environment variable is ignored when the lsof
process is setuid-root or when the real UID of the process is root.
Lsof will not write to a modified personal device cache file path if
the lsof process doesn't surrender setgid permission. (See the LSOF
PERMISSIONS THAT AFFECT DEVICE CACHE FILE ACCESS section for a list of
implementations that normally don't surrender their setgid permission.)
If, for example, you want to create a sub-directory of personal device
cache file paths by using the LSOFPERSDCPATH environment variable to
name it, and lsof doesn't surrender its setgid permission, you will
have to allow lsof to create device cache files at the standard per-
sonal path and move them to your subdirectory with shell commands.
The local system administrator may: disable this option when lsof is
built; change the name of the environment variable from LSOFPERSDCPATH
to something else; change the HASPERSDC format to include the personal
path component in another place; or exclude the personal path component
entirely. Consult the output of the -D? option for the environment
variable's name and the HASPERSDC format specification.
DIAGNOSTICS
Errors are identified with messages on the standard error file.
Lsof returns a one (1) if any error was detected, including the failure
to locate command names, file names, Internet addresses or files, login
names, NFS files, PIDs, PGIDs, or UIDs it was asked to list. If the -V
option is specified, lsof will indicate the search items it failed to
list. If the -Q option is specified, lsof will ignore any search item
failures and only return an error if something unusual and unrecover-
able happened.
It returns a zero (0) if no errors were detected and if either the -Q
option was specified or it was able to list some information about all
the specified search arguments.
When lsof cannot open access to /dev (or /devices) or one of its subdi-
rectories, or get information on a file in them with stat(2), it issues
a warning message and continues. That lsof will issue warning messages
about inaccessible files in /dev (or /devices) is indicated in its help
output - requested with the -h or >B -? options - with the message:
Inaccessible /dev warnings are enabled.
The warning message may be suppressed with the -w option. It may also
have been suppressed by the system administrator when lsof was compiled
by the setting of the WARNDEVACCESS definition. In this case, the out-
put from the help options will include the message:
Inaccessible /dev warnings are disabled.
Inaccessible device warning messages usually disappear after lsof has
created a working device cache file.

BUGS
Since lsof reads kernel memory in its search for open files, rapid
changes in kernel memory may produce unpredictable results.
When a file has multiple record locks, the lock status character (fol-
lowing the file descriptor) is derived from a test of the first lock
structure, not from any combination of the individual record locks that
might be described by multiple lock structures.
Lsof can't search for files with restrictive access permissions by name
unless it is installed with root set-UID permission. Otherwise it is
limited to searching for files to which its user or its set-GID group
(if any) has access permission.
The display of the destination address of a raw socket (e.g., for ping)
depends on the UNIX operating system. Some dialects store the destina-
tion address in the raw socket's protocol control block, some do not.
Lsof can't always represent Solaris device numbers in the same way that
ls(1) does. For example, the major and minor device numbers that the
lstat(2) and stat(2) functions report for the directory on which CD-ROM
files are mounted (typically /cdrom) are not the same as the ones that
it reports for the device on which CD-ROM files are mounted (typically
/dev/sr0). (Lsof reports the directory numbers.)
The support for /proc file systems is available only for BSD and Tru64
UNIX dialects, Linux, and dialects derived from SYSV R4 - e.g., Free-
BSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, UnixWare.
Some /proc file items - device number, inode number, and file size -
are unavailable in some dialects. Searching for files in a /proc file
system may require that the full path name be specified.
No text (txt) file descriptors are displayed for Linux processes. All
entries for files other than the current working directory, the root
directory, and numerical file descriptors are labeled mem descriptors.
Lsof can't search for Tru64 UNIX named pipes by name, because their
kernel implementation of lstat(2) returns an improper device number for
a named pipe.
Lsof can't report fully or correctly on HP-UX 9.01, 10.20, and 11.00
locks because of insufficient access to kernel data or errors in the
kernel data. See the lsof FAQ (The FAQ section gives its location.)
for details.
The AIX SMT file type is a fabrication. It's made up for file struc-
tures whose type (15) isn't defined in the AIX /usr/include/sys/file.h
header file. One way to create such file structures is to run X
clients with the DISPLAY variable set to ``:0.0''.
The +|-f[cfn] option is not supported under /proc-based Linux lsof, be-
cause it doesn't read kernel structures from kernel memory.
ENVIRONMENT
Lsof may access these environment variables.
LANG defines a language locale. See setlocale(3) for the
names of other variables that can be used in place of
LANG - e.g., LC_ALL, LC_TYPE, etc.
LSOFDEVCACHE defines the path to a device cache file. See the DE-
VICE CACHE PATH FROM AN ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE section
for more information.
LSOFPERSDCPATH defines the middle component of a modified personal
device cache file path. See the MODIFIED PERSONAL
DEVICE CACHE PATH section for more information.
