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
