You would have to modify kernel code to do this; the main question which comes to mind is *why* would you want to do something like this? It seems like an ideal problem set that a professor might give to a student, since it would force them to try to get from an inode to the pathname used to open the file. So it seems to be one of these really pointless things that isn't particularly useful in real life, except for pedagogical purposes. - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
