Purpose
=======

It is fairly common practice for a program to open a temporary file,
delete the file, and continue to use it as a temporary file.  By doing
so, other programs will not be able to open and read or corrupt the
data this program is using.  However, since no name appears in a
directory, it becomes difficult to determine space being used by these
types of files.  For example, a file system can become full yet looking
at the files that appear to be in the file system, it may appear that
the file system should have considerable space available.
 
This tool will find files in a file system that have been deleted yet
are still in use and consuming space.  It will show the process and
user using the file, the space in use, and a portion of the name used
to open the file.
