fuser not showing file open by vi
hi,
I opened a simple text file by vi. I then started another shell, and did fuser myFile. I expected it to show the pid of the vi session that had that file open, but it just returned a blank.
why would this be?
thanks

getsid(2) System Calls getsid(2)
NAME
getsid - get process group ID of session leader
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
pid_t getsid(pid_t pid);
DESCRIPTION
The getsid() function obtains the process group ID of the process that is the session leader of the process specified by pid. If pid is
(pid_t)0, it specifies the calling process.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, getsid() returns the process group ID of the session leader of the specified process. Otherwise, it returns
(pid_t)-1 and sets errno to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The getsid() function will fail if:
EPERM The process specified by pid is not in the same session as the calling process, and the implementation does not allow
access to the process group ID of the session leader of that process from the calling process.
ESRCH There is no process with a process ID equal to pid.
