File Descriptors

[Richard Yoo]

We have a unique problem where we have a FD leak... we don't know where
it's coming from, and we are having a hell of time tracking it down... so I
have a few questions:

1) Is it possible to list the current amount of USED file descriptors in a
system? and how?

2) Is it possible to list how many FD's are in use by each process?  and how?

3) Is it possible to list what FD's are being used for (ie, what files are
open, etc...) and how?

Does anyone have any other solutions to tracking this problem down.

Btw, increasing the number of FD in the a kernel is NOT an option since we
are 99% sure that this is a bug in one of the applications we've developed
in-house.

Thanks for any help!
