I have a custom device driver in /dev/ that can only be used by one
program at a time. Since the device is /dev/ttyUSB0, I can see if anyone
is using it by:

        ls -l /proc/*/fd/* | grep ttyUSB0

Is there a utility or other better way I can discover which process, or
better, which program, is using a particular device?

Thanks,
