The problem: Suppose a routine is given a file descriptor as the only piece of information related to a file. Is it possible to determine the full pathname for that file? If so, how? I suspect that I will end up reading inodes (gasp). If you have a solution to the problem, could you mail it to me? If there is enough demand, I will post the collection of solutions to net.sources. Thanks in advance, Randy P.S. I don't monitor net.unix-wizards that frequently, so could you mail any comment directly to me? ..!utcsri!randy -- Randall S.
