Subject: given a struct sock, how to find pid of process that owns it?
Date: Wed, 03 Sep 2003 13:17:25 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3F562225.4010609@nortelnetworks.com> (raw)


I'm working on a small app similar to netstat that only cares about unix 
sockets.

I can easily walk /proc/net/unix, but to find the owner of the socket I 
need to scan /proc, which gets expensive.

Accordingly, I'd like to extend /proc/net/unix to also dump out the pid 
of the process that owns the socket.  The only thing is, I can't seem to 
figure out how to find the pid of the socket owner given a pointer to 
the socket struct.

Any tips?  Is it even there?

Thanks,

Chris
