This is good. I want to do it from within my app so I can look at the
source of lsof to see how it does it.

part of the way lsof does it is with the sgid bit. lsof is designed so that it is moderately easy for a program to parse the results. Unless you need root for some other reason, it is probably better to invoke lsof then write the relatively simple code yourself. Without root, the code in lsof will only find information about files opened in the current process.

Hope this helps
Eric
