# lsof examples

In this example we can see that the docs/index.md file is currently open by the tail command

`[ben@jamyn ~/Documents/Projects/Python/mkdocs-pages]$ lsof docs/index.md`

```bash
COMMAND   PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF    NODE NAME
tail    17481  ben    3r   REG   0,49      240 1220028 docs/index.md
