Function Get-FileProcess {
<#
.SYNOPSIS
Get the process that has opened the requested file.
.DESCRIPTION
Output the path and process id of each process that has an opened HANDLE of
the provided files.
.PARAMETER Path
The paths to check for opened handles, this supports wildcard matching.
.PARAMETER LiteralPath
The paths to check for opened handles, this is the literal path with no
wildcard matching.
.EXAMPLE
Get-FilePath -Path C:\temp\test.txt
# Path PID
# ---- ---
# C:\temp\test.txt 824
.OUTPUTS
An object with Path and PID being the file path the process id of the
opened handle.
.NOTES
If the file(s) requested do not have an opened handle then there will be no
output.
