I did a long-lost version of this for a former employer and it required
an intimate understanding of VMS data structure internals as you needed
to walk through them to get the required information.

Basically sys/w was the command to list the open files, who had
them open (and at what block). My version included the current
locks information for each file which was taken from the RMS locks
in the DLM (IIRC).
