Hello latinooo,

Welcome to forums, yes you can use lsof command for same purpose, it shows all the files which are currently being used/opened by processes. You can refer man lsof for more information too.
Code:
lsof "Input_file"

NOTE: I have checked/tried this is in bash.


Thanks,
R. Singh

The traditional Unix command is fuser.
Code:
fuser fifa15

lists the process(es) that has/have opened the file.
