#### File, folder, busy USB mount, and system lock file resolver for Linux

IObit Unlocker for Linux brings effortless file, folder, device, and mountpoint
unlocking to Linux desktops and servers. Inspect /proc/\*/fd and /proc/locks in
real time to identify which processes hold open file descriptors or POSIX/FLOCK
locks, resolve 'target is busy' USB unmount errors, and cure stale APT, Dpkg,
Git, SQLite, and Browser profile locks with one click.

KEY FEATURES:
• File & Folder Lock Scanner: Inspect locking Process, PID, User, FD #, and Lock Mode (READ, WRITE, FLOCK, MMAP) with 1-click Unlock Only, Unlock & Delete, Unlock & Rename, and Unlock & Move.
• Busy Mounts & USB Drive Unlocker: Diagnose 'umount: target is busy' errors across /mnt/*, /media/*, and loop devices by pinpointing open working directories (cwd) and file handles.
• System Package & App Lock Doctor: Instant detector and safe resolver for APT/Dpkg lock-frontend, Pacman db.lck, Snapd state lock, Git index.lock, SQLite WAL locks, and Browser SingletonLock.
