Hi All, I have a server program that as far as I can tell correctly opens and closes sockets to clients. However, after a while, (A LONG TIME) my sockets build up and dont get closed. I have insrumented my code to make sure I am closing any file descriptor I receive over via accept. For the first 2 hours, when I do a socklist, I see just as many sockets for my server program as there are clients After 2 hours or so though, the sockets keep building up and the file descriptors I get from accept kep increasing. My question is, how do I tell what these (UNCLOSED) file descriptors point to ? I can so a stat on /proc/PID/fd/FILE and I get something like this: stat /proc/10881/fd/44 File: "/proc/10881/fd/44" -> "socket:[1041079]" Size: 64 Blocks: 2 Symbolic Link Access: (0700/lrwx------) Uid: ( 501/ grao) Gid: ( 501/ grao) Device: 4 Inode: 713130028 Links: 1 Access: Tue Apr 24 12:10:20 2001 Modify: Tue Apr 24 12:10:20 2001 Change: Tue Apr 24 12:10:20 2001 How do I get more info on that file descriptor so I can debug where I am going wrong?
