How does Finder determine when a file is busy being written to the disk?

When copying large files (over a GB each) from a network drive to a
local drive Finder shows these files are busy by graying their
filename out until they are finished writing to the local system.

How can I detect this as well?

I tried calling the NSFileManager fileAttributesAtPath:traverseLink:
method to get the NSFileBusy attribute, but this attribute is null.
