+.SH NAME
+fuser
+\(em list process IDs of all processes that have one or more files open
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+fuser \fB[\fR-cfu\fB] \fIfile\fR...
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.IR fuser
+utility shall write to standard output the process IDs of processes
+running on the local system that have one or more named files open.
+For block special devices, all processes using any file on that device
+are listed.
+.P
+The
+.IR fuser
+utility shall write to standard error additional information about the
+named files indicating how the file is being used.
+.P
+Any output for processes running on remote systems that have a named
+file open is unspecified.
+.P
+A user may need appropriate privileges to invoke the
+.IR fuser
+utility.
+.SH OPTIONS
+The
+.IR fuser
+utility shall conform to the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017,
+.IR "Section 12.2" ", " "Utility Syntax Guidelines".
+.P
+The following options shall be supported:
+.IP "\fB\-c\fR" 10
+The file is treated as a mount point and the utility shall report
+on any files open in the file system.
+.IP "\fB\-f\fR" 10
+The report shall be only for the named files.
+.IP "\fB\-u\fR" 10
+The user name, in parentheses, associated with each process ID written
+to standard output shall be written to standard error.
+.SH OPERANDS
+The following operand shall be supported:
+.IP "\fIfile\fP" 10
+A pathname on which the file or file system is to be reported.
+.SH STDIN
+Not used.
+.SH "INPUT FILES"
+The user database.
+.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES"
+The following environment variables shall affect the execution of
+.IR fuser :
+.IP "\fILANG\fP" 10
+Provide a default value for the internationalization variables that are
+unset or null. (See the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017,
+.IR "Section 8.2" ", " "Internationalization Variables"
+for the precedence of internationalization variables used to determine
+the values of locale categories.)
+.IP "\fILC_ALL\fP" 10
+If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all the
+other internationalization variables.
+.IP "\fILC_CTYPE\fP" 10
+Determine the locale for the interpretation of sequences of bytes of
+text data as characters (for example, single-byte as opposed to
+multi-byte characters in arguments).
+.IP "\fILC_MESSAGES\fP" 10
+.br
+Determine the locale that should be used to affect the format and
+contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error.
+.IP "\fINLSPATH\fP" 10
+Determine the location of message catalogs for the processing of
+.IR LC_MESSAGES .
+.SH "ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS"
+Default.
+.SH STDOUT
+The
+.IR fuser
+utility shall write the process ID for each process using each file
+given as an operand to standard output in the following format:
+.sp
+.RS 4
+.nf
+
+"%d", <\fIprocess_id\fR>
+.fi
+.P
+.RE
+.SH STDERR
+The
+.IR fuser
+utility shall write diagnostic messages to standard error.
+.P
+The
+.IR fuser
+utility also shall write the following to standard error:
+.IP " *" 4
+The pathname of each named file is written followed immediately by a
+<colon>.
+.IP " *" 4
+For each process ID written to standard output, the character
+.BR 'c'
+shall be written to standard error if the process is using the file as
+its current directory and the character
+.BR 'r'
+shall be written to standard error if the process is using the file as
+its root directory. Implementations may write other alphabetic
+characters to indicate other uses of files.
+.IP " *" 4
+When the
+.BR \-u
+option is specified, characters indicating the use of the file shall be
+followed immediately by the user name, in parentheses, corresponding to
+the real user ID of the process. If the user name cannot be resolved from
+the real user ID of the process, the real user ID of the process shall
+be written instead of the user name.
+.P
+When standard output and standard error are directed to the same file,
+the output shall be interleaved so that the filename appears at the
+start of each line, followed by the process ID and characters
+indicating the use of the file. Then, if the
+.BR \-u
+option is specified, the user name or user ID for each process using
+that file shall be written.
+.P
+A
+<newline>
+shall be written to standard error after the last output
+described above for each
+.IR file
+operand.
+.SH "OUTPUT FILES"
+None.
+.SH "EXTENDED DESCRIPTION"
+None.
+.SH "EXIT STATUS"
+The following exit values shall be returned:
+.IP "\00" 6
+Successful completion.
+.IP >0 6
+An error occurred.
+.SH "CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS"
+Default.
+.LP
+.IR "The following sections are informative."
+.SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
+None.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+The command:
+.sp
+.RS 4
+.nf
+
+fuser -fu .
+.fi
+.P
+.RE
+.P
+writes to standard output the process IDs of processes that are using
+the current directory and writes to standard error an indication of how
+those processes are using the directory and the user names associated
+with the processes that are using the current directory.
+.sp
+.RS 4
+.nf
+
+fuser -c <\fImount point\fR>
+.fi
+.P
+.RE
+.P
+writes to standard output the process IDs of processes that are using
+any file in the file system which is mounted on <\fImount point\fR>
+and writes to standard error an indication of how those processes are
+using the files.
+.sp
+.RS 4
+.nf
+
+fuser <\fImount point\fR>
+.fi
+.P
+.RE
+.P
+writes to standard output the process IDs of processes that are using
+the file which is named by <\fImount point\fR> and writes to standard
+error an indication of how those processes are using the file.
+.sp
+.RS 4
+.nf
+
+fuser <\fIblock device\fR>
+.fi
+.P
+.RE
+.P
+writes to standard output the process IDs of processes that are using
+any file which is on the device named by <\fIblock device\fR> and
+writes to standard error an indication of how those processes are using
+the file.
+.sp
+.RS 4
+.nf
+
+fuser -f <\fIblock device\fR>
+.fi
+.P
+.RE
+.P
+writes to standard output the process IDs of processes that are using
+the file <\fIblock device\fR> itself and writes to standard error an
+indication of how those processes are using the file.
+.SH RATIONALE
+The definition of the
+.IR fuser
+utility follows existing practice.
+.SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS"
+None.
