Linux::Fuser README ======================== This module attempts to provide some of the functionality of the Unix command 'fuser' for use in Perl programs that might need to know whether a file is opened by another process. The way that it does this is highly OS dependent and I would be surprised ( but happily surprised ) if it proves to work on any other OS than Linux from 2.2 onward - If it is found to work on other platforms please do contact the author and we will look at changing the name :) I would also be grateful of any patches that might cause it to work on other OS. INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install DEPENDENCIES This module has no dependencies other than it will almost certainly only work on a Linux system with a /proc filesystem compatible with the one found with the 2.2.* kernel, there are some features that may become available to new kernel versions. SOURCE CODE The source code for this module is hosted on Github.
