  2. Auth: mc alias with admin credentials for the deployment
  3. List the ten oldest locks: mc support top locks myminio/
  4. Show only stale locks: mc support top locks --stale myminio/
  5. Read output columns: Since (lock age), Type (e.g. WRITE), Owner (node holding the lock), Resource (locked object/path)
  6. Related live views in the same family: mc support top net, mc support top api
  7. Official docs: https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/reference/minio-mc/mc-support-top-locks.html and deprecation notice at https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/reference/deprecated/mc-admin-top.html
