It's the list of all meanwhile deleted open or memory mapped files of the 
process. 

I'll add something to suppress the duplicates. Maybe add some classification, 
so you can concentrate on showing processes using deleted libs.

The ones just accessing deleted files are probably not that interesting.

The command could be: zypp-CheckAccessDeleted (/usr/bin)

No please. If one is actually interested in this, he can call e.g.  
zypp-CheckAccessDeleted to get the current status. Storing this in a file is 
IMO wasted disc space.
