PROC_GET_FDINFO(3PROC) Process Control Library Functions PROC_GET_FDINFO(3PROC)

proc_get_fdinfo, proc_fdinfo_freeget process file descriptor information

Process Control Library (libproc, -lproc)

#include <libproc.h>

prfdinfo_t *
proc_get_fdinfo(pid_t pid, int fd);

void
proc_fdinfo_free(prfdinfo_t *info);

The () function is a convenient way to read the /proc/pid/fdinfo/fd file for the process pid and file descriptor fd. On success, the return value of the function is a pointer to a properly terminated structure.

The definition of the prfdinfo_t structure may be found in proc(5).

The caller must free the returned memory by calling the () function.

The () frees all memory associated with the prfdinfo_t structure passed as info.

Upon successful completion, the proc_get_fdinfo() function returns a pointer to an allocated prfdinfo_t structure. Otherwise, NULL is returned to indicate an error occurred and errno is set to indicate the error.

In addition to the errors listed below, the proc_get_fdinfo() function may fail for the same reasons as the fstat(2), lseek(2), malloc(3C), open(2), and read(2) functions. The proc_get_fdinfo() function will fail if:

The data read from the file under /proc is not properly terminated.
