Question check if file is being accessed by any application

Hello, is there maybe a way to check if a specific file is being accessed at the moment?

Example:

You will start copying a 10 GB file from A to B, how could I code it so my script actually knows when file B is finished copying?

NAME
XmClipboardEndRetrieve -- A clipboard function that completes retrieval of data from the clipboard SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/CutPaste.h> int XmClipboardEndRetrieve (display, window) Display * display; Window window; (void) DESCRIPTION
XmClipboardEndRetrieve suspends copying data incrementally from the clipboard. It tells the clipboard routines that the application is through copying an item from the clipboard. Until this function is called, data items can be retrieved incrementally from the clipboard with XmClipboardRetrieve. The act of copying data is started with the XmClipboardStartRetrieve function. display Specifies a pointer to the Display structure that was returned in a previous call to XOpenDisplay or XtDisplay. window Specifies the window ID of a widget that relates the application window to the clipboard. The widget's window ID can be obtained with XtWindow. The same application instance should pass the same window ID to each of the clipboard functions that it calls. RETURN
XmClipboardSuccess The function was successful. XmClipboardLocked The function failed because the clipboard was locked by another application. The application can continue to call the function again with the same parameters until the lock goes away. This gives the application the opportunity to ask if the user wants to keep trying or to give up on the operation. RELATED
