If someone can show some real useful feature of lsof that's lacking in native tools then that's a good project to add that feature to one of the

fstat doesn't (try) to rebuild the path name.

As far as I know that's always a pretty expensive operation to try to do very often, even if only with a special command-line option.

Meanwhile it's a very easy thing to do with a simple find command for the one or two files that might be really interesting to know about at any given time, once given the information fstat does show.
