You can check these things yourself using the Cygwin Search Packages page:

	https://cygwin.com/packages/

type "usr/bin/lsof" and hit Enter:

	https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=usr%2Fbin%2Ffuser

	Search Results

	Found 0 matches for usr/bin/lsof

and the same on the command line:

	$ cygcheck -p usr/bin/lsof
	Found 0 matches for usr/bin/lsof

but Cygwin does have fuser:

$ cygcheck -p usr/bin/fuser
Found 6 matches for usr/bin/fuser

and Windows has openfiles:

$ cmd /c help openfiles
