I am trying to write a program (on UNIX 5.2) which will list the
files which are currently open by a process.
I started to investigate the problem and got as far as reading the
proc structure out of the /dev/kmem. Thats where I get stuck. I
know that I need to read the user structure for the process but
how do I find it? Is there a pointer of somekind in structure
proc that I am overlooking.
Once I can read the user structure then I will be able to get a
list of the open file slots used by the program. This will give
me the inodes of the open files which I can then convert to
filenames.
Please mail responses to me. Its easy to overlook things in the
heavy traffic. Thanks in advance.
