-.EE
-.in
-.IP
-The fields shown in each line are as follows:
-.RS
-.IP [1] 5
-The ordinal position of the lock in the list.
-.IP [2]
-The lock type.
-Values that may appear here include:
-.RS
-.TP
-.B FLOCK
-This is a BSD file lock created using
-.BR flock (2).
-.TP
-.B OFDLCK
-This is an open file description (OFD) lock created using
-.BR fcntl (2).
-.TP
-.B POSIX
-This is a POSIX byte-range lock created using
-.BR fcntl (2).
-.RE
-.IP [3]
-Among the strings that can appear here are the following:
-.RS
-.TP
-.B ADVISORY
-This is an advisory lock.
-.TP
-.B MANDATORY
-This is a mandatory lock.
-.RE
-.IP [4]
-The type of lock.
-Values that can appear here are:
-.RS
-.TP
-.B READ
-This is a POSIX or OFD read lock, or a BSD shared lock.
-.TP
-.B WRITE
-This is a POSIX or OFD write lock, or a BSD exclusive lock.
-.RE
-.IP [5]
-The PID of the process that owns the lock.
-.IP
-Because OFD locks are not owned by a single process
-(since multiple processes may have file descriptors that
-refer to the same open file description),
-the value \-1 is displayed in this field for OFD locks.
-(Before Linux 4.14,
-.\" commit 9d5b86ac13c573795525ecac6ed2db39ab23e2a8
-a bug meant that the PID of the process that
-initially acquired the lock was displayed instead of the value \-1.)
-.IP [6]
-Three colon-separated subfields that identify the major and minor device
-ID of the device containing the filesystem where the locked file resides,
-followed by the inode number of the locked file.
-.IP [7]
-The byte offset of the first byte of the lock.
-For BSD locks, this value is always 0.
-.IP [8]
-The byte offset of the last byte of the lock.
-.B EOF
-in this field means that the lock extends to the end of the file.
-For BSD locks, the value shown is always
-.IR EOF .
-.RE
-.IP
-Since Linux 4.9,
-.\" commit d67fd44f697dff293d7cdc29af929241b669affe
-the list of locks shown in
-.I /proc/locks
-is filtered to show just the locks for the processes in the PID
-namespace (see
-.BR pid_namespaces (7))
-for which the
-.I /proc
-filesystem was mounted.
-(In the initial PID namespace,
-there is no filtering of the records shown in this file.)
-.IP
-The
-.BR lslocks (8)
-command provides a bit more information about each lock.
