-J, --json
Use JSON output format.
-n, --noheadings
Do not print a header line.
-o, --output list
Specify which output columns to print.  Use
--help
to get a list of all supported columns.
The default list of columns may be extended if list is
specified in the format +list (e.g. lslocks -o +BLOCKER).

-V, --version

 OUTPUT
COMMAND
The command name of the process holding the lock.
PID
The process ID of the process which holds the lock.
TYPE
The type of lock; can be FLOCK (created with flock(2)) or POSIX
(created with fcntl(2) and lockf(3)).
SIZE
Size of the locked file.
MODE
The lock's access permissions (read, write).  If the process is blocked and waiting for the lock,
then the mode is postfixed with an '*' (asterisk).
M
Whether the lock is mandatory; 0 means no (meaning the lock is only advisory), 1 means yes.
(See fcntl(2).)
START
Relative byte offset of the lock.
END
Ending offset of the lock.
PATH
Full path of the lock.  If none is found, or there are no permissions to read
the path, it will fall back to the device's mountpoint and "..." is appended to
the path.  The path might be truncated; use
--notruncate to get the full path.
BLOCKER
The PID of the process which blocks the lock.
 NOTES
The lslocks command is meant to replace the lslk(8) command,
originally written by Victor A. Abell <abe@purdue.edu> and unmaintained
since 2001.
