Can anyone tell me if it is possible to determine open files for a process without running my program as root? Actually, here is what I am trying to accomplish: I am trying to obtain the path and name of a file which is being piped by another command to my perl program. This first command is being executed from within a third-party software package for the purpose of "printing" a report. I would like something that is portable among different unix flavors and is not dependent on something like 'lsof', if possible. Thank you in advance for any help.
