(resending making sure this is not part of another thread) I'm looking for an efficient way to determine the type of an fd (file, socket...) given its number, from a kernel module. The closest thing I found by looking at the kernel sources is sockfd_lookup(), which works but is limited to telling me if the fd is a socket or not. Is there something else I can look at? Thank you in advance, Loris _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
