A Unix question
Is there a way to get the filename in UNIX given the file descriptor.
(in a given process)
I think the crash program provides a list of inodes for the filenames
which the process has opened.
Is there any call in unix which would do the job (and if not why not)?
I don't mind an external suid program which takes the pid and fd
and gets the filename.
Is it possible at all to do that ?
(This would be very useful to me to find out the filename which
tmpfile() has created which I could then pass to other programs)
