anyone know of a possible perl builtin / function that will show a process holding a fileopen. I looked thru stat and lstat but still unable to find something similar to lsof. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi
If you want to code it yourself, iterate over the files matching [tt]^/proc/\d+/fd/\d+$[/tt] and use [tt]readlink()[/tt] on each to find out whether they point to the file in question.

On which operating system ? Are you just trying to implement kind of [tt]lsof[/tt] in Perl, or you have some special requirement ? Neither [tt]fuser[/tt] solves your problem ?grazinggoat said:
