Step 1: Find device and Inode of a library or binary:

# istat /usr/lib/libssh2.a
Inode 12880 on device 10/9 File
Protection: rwxr-xr-x
Owner: 0(root) Group: 0(system)
Link count: 1 Length 572979 bytes

From the above output we read the information we need for the next step:

Device Major: 10
Device Minor: 9
Inode: 12880

Step 2: Search for jfs2.<Major>.<Minor>.<Inode> under /proc:

# find /proc/*/object -name “jfs2.10.9.12880”
/proc/4194450/object/jfs2.10.9.12880
/proc/5111820/object/jfs2.10.9.12880
/proc/6095050/object/jfs2.10.9.12880
/proc/7077940/object/jfs2.10.9.12880
/proc/7405804/object/jfs2.10.9.12880

Conclusion: The library /usr/lib/libssh2.a is currently in use by 5 processes with the PIDs 4194450, 5111820, 6095050, 7077940 und 7405804.

Step 3: Find processes of the PIDs

# for p in 4194450 5111820 6095050 7077940 7405804 ; do ps -fp $p ; done
