Subject: [gentoo-user] how to find if a program is using a particular /dev device?

1 I have a custom device driver in /dev/ that can only be used by one
2 program at a time. Since the device is /dev/ttyUSB0, I can see if anyone
3 is using it by:
4
5 ls -l /proc/*/fd/* | grep ttyUSB0
6
7 Is there a utility or other better way I can discover which process, or
8 better, which program, is using a particular device?

10 Thanks,
