I looked at the patch. It retrieves file description information through 'sysctl' calls with proprietary keys.
Isn't it better architecturally to expose the same information through procfs interface? At least from the filesystem level and up standard tools like ls/cat will be able to show the the same information instead of the specialized utility.
