+# Examples
+
+## File flags
+Show open files with file flags for process:
+```markdown
+lsof +fg -p <pid>
+```
+
+## Open TCP connections
+Show open tcp connections for `$USER`:
+```markdown
+lsof -a -u $USER -i TCP
+```
+**Note**: `-a` _ands_ the results. If `-a` is not given all open files matching
+`$USER` and all tcp connections are listed (_ored_).
+
+## Open connection to specific host
+Show open connections to `localhost` for `$USER`:
+```markdown
+lsof -a -u $USER -i @localhost
+```
+
+## Open connection to specific port
+Show open connections to port `:1234` for `$USER`:
+```markdown
+lsof -a -u $USER -i :1234
+```
+
+## IPv4 TCP connections in `ESTABLISHED` state
+```markdown
+lsof -i 4TCP -s TCP:ESTABLISHED
+```
+## List open files in a mounted directory.
+This may help to find which processes keep devices busy when trying to unmount
+and the device is currently busy.
+```markdown
+# Assuming /proc is a mount point.
+lsof /proc
+```
