In this specific case I was trying to re-implement the pfiles program. For normal file descriptors (not sockets) this was the last piece of information which wasn't available.

I might actually have some more patches to get to socket information but I haven't fully checked out yet what is available. --------------enigAD4141DD6EDCDB9C02DD6DE1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.16 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAk4K3ycACgkQ2ijCOnn/RHTnmgCfeG7LyFoArwj7FCI0UG53jYd8 jMAAn1QkgZmxocMDBU4aWkOboOaZzbeC =6bG5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigAD4141DD6EDCDB9C02DD6DE1-- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
