 Ok, in that case, then "lsof" does not show files opened by AFP connected

 appleshare server has it open... the files are not listed as open at all.


Yes, lsof shows all open files.

I just found out that BBEdit will close the files is has displayed and
only open them during opening/closing (reading/writing).

But FileMaker keeps it's files open, and they are listed is lsof.

As I stated, many apps read in the file as data to memory, then close it. It's a very common practice.

Databases, on the other hand, need to continually access the file/data, so they like to keep the file(s) open, but even then there's a lot of in memory manipulation with only writes getting flushed out as necessary, mostly for performance reasons. --
