Name

dump_file_descriptors() - dump the MudOS process file descriptor table

Synopsis

string dump_file_descriptors( void );

Description

This function is provided to assist in debugging the MudOS driver and helps overcome deficiencies in some UN*X implementations which do not provide equivalent or superior debugging facilities as part of the operating system itself. The interpretation of the output is very system-dependent. Each file descriptor is checked to determine whether it refers to an open file. If so, information is displayed from the "stat structure" returned by the fstat() system call.

The following output was produced on Lambda Realms running on a Sequent DYNIX/ptx system:
