That sounds like a lot of work. I was hoping for some OS call to tell me
how many times a file is open.
I found some code on the web that discovers that information, but at the
device driver level. I was hoping for a higher level access to that
information.
It doesn't sound worth fixing to me. The solution is to turn file locking on.
