Mac does the same thing (as others have said) and you can at least sudo lsof and find it, but somehow filesystem access now is worse than Windows 95 era Excel spreadsheet file handles that never worked.

Here's what an operating system is peeps: Something that handles files and programs that live on top of it. That's it.

How is it none of them can't do their basic function anymore?

Same command works on Linux. Its a real saver sometimes.

You can also specify a path.

Files, hardware / peripherals and programs. The distinction can get a bit blurry what with drivers and the fact that Linux exposes most of the hardware via the filesystem.
