lsof on HPUX is called fuser. It does not report locked files. In order to find locked files, you have to open() files then try lockf() in C code.
AFAIK HPUX systems only have mandatory file locking on Regular files with the file mode of S_ENFMT.
What are your trying to accomplish?

LOCKF(3) Linux Programmer's Manual LOCKF(3)
NAME
lockf - apply, test or remove a POSIX lock on an open file
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
int lockf(int fd, int cmd, off_t len);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
lockf():
_XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500
|| /* Glibc since 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
|| /* Glibc versions <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE
DESCRIPTION
Apply, test or remove a POSIX lock on a section of an open file. The file is specified by fd, a file descriptor open for writing, the
action by cmd, and the section consists of byte positions pos..pos+len-1 if len is positive, and pos-len..pos-1 if len is negative, where
pos is the current file position, and if len is zero, the section extends from the current file position to infinity, encompassing the
present and future end-of-file positions. In all cases, the section may extend past current end-of-file.
On Linux, lockf() is just an interface on top of fcntl(2) locking. Many other systems implement lockf() in this way, but note that POSIX.1
leaves the relationship between lockf() and fcntl(2) locks unspecified. A portable application should probably avoid mixing calls to these
interfaces.
Valid operations are given below:
F_LOCK Set an exclusive lock on the specified section of the file. If (part of) this section is already locked, the call blocks until the
previous lock is released. If this section overlaps an earlier locked section, both are merged. File locks are released as soon as
the process holding the locks closes some file descriptor for the file. A child process does not inherit these locks.
F_TLOCK
Same as F_LOCK but the call never blocks and returns an error instead if the file is already locked.
F_ULOCK
Unlock the indicated section of the file. This may cause a locked section to be split into two locked sections.
F_TEST Test the lock: return 0 if the specified section is unlocked or locked by this process; return -1, set errno to EAGAIN (EACCES on
some other systems), if another process holds a lock.
RETURN VALUE
On success, zero is returned. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.
ERRORS
EACCES or EAGAIN
The file is locked and F_TLOCK or F_TEST was specified, or the operation is prohibited because the file has been memory-mapped by
another process.
EBADF fd is not an open file descriptor; or cmd is F_LOCK or F_TLOCK and fd is not a writable file descriptor.
EDEADLK
The command was F_LOCK and this lock operation would cause a deadlock.
EINVAL An invalid operation was specified in cmd.
ENOLCK Too many segment locks open, lock table is full.
ATTRIBUTES
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7).
