@pacific I have the following answers to your questions : 1. A process can open number of files equal to the maximum value of available file descriptors. This value is fixed in unix based systems generally. Like in linux I think maximum descriptor value is 256. So that much number of files can be opened.
2. When a file is opened by any process, its single copy of inode resides in the main memory. This contains a reference count field showing the number of process refering to this file. So I think the number of processes which cn open a given file is restricted by the no. of bits in this field. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Algorithm Geeks" group.
