While vlc is producing sound from M1357873276.WAV this is observed. peter@dalton:~$ lsof /home/peter/*.WAV COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME vlc 10888 peter 9u REG 8,6 20470 3612711 /home/peter/M1357873276.WAV
man lsof explains, "The mode character is followed by one of these lock charac- ters, describing the type of lock applied to the file: ... u for a read and write lock of any length;" A write lock would prevent another process from writing to the file while vlc is working. Can anyone tell me the meaning of file descriptor 9? Thanks, ...
