Does Cygwin have a tool like lsof which can list which files or
directories are in use by a Windows process?
You can check these things yourself using the Cygwin Search Packages page:
https://cygwin.com/packages/
type "usr/bin/lsof" and hit Enter:
https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=usr%2Fbin%2Ffuser
Search Results
Found 0 matches for usr/bin/lsof
and the same on the command line:
$ cygcheck -p usr/bin/lsof
Found 0 matches for usr/bin/lsof
but Cygwin does have fuser:
$ cygcheck -p usr/bin/fuser
Found 6 matches for usr/bin/fuser
