Date: 28 Jan 1994 22:29:45 GMT Organization: Andrews University Lines: 20 Message-ID: <2ic3kp$39o@orion.cc.andrews.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: edmund.cs.andrews.edu Does anyone have any good ideas on how to get a list of currently 'open' files on i386 BSD systems? (or any UNIX box for that matter?) I would guess that you could find the file descriptor table in kernel memory and somehow read that, but as I don't know anything about that, I'm stuck! Anyway, maybe this 'top' thing does it? It's not real important, I'm just kind of curious.
