Bug Description
The fuser command does not conform to POSIX, and contains additional
differences not currently listed.
The current spec states:
fuser is as specified in ISO POSIX (2003), but with differences as listed below.
Differences
The fuser command is a system administration utility, see Path For System
Administration Utilities.
Option Differences
-c
has unspecified behavior.
-f
has unspecified behavior.
=====
The -c option in psmisc-21.5 is as specified in POSIX.
The -f option is thought to be as in POSIX (needs further validation).
The no option case is different.
In POSIX, "fuser special-file" will list out all processes using that special
file ("For block special devices, all processes using any file on that device
are listed"), including listing out processes that are using files in the
mounted filesystem contained in the special file. In psmisc, the fuser utility
will only list processes that have the actual special file itself open.
