Selection criteria are a little weak with fuser. Also, it won't do a global
display (i.e., all users, all files). The latest fuser (in psmisc 12) will
do sockets, but again selection criteria are rather limited.

My impression from running lsof is that the selection criteria are the
reverse of fuser in the sense of being a bit arcane. Also, lsof wants to be
recompiled at the drop of a hat....a native implementation using the proc
filesystem would probably work better....
