I would like to know which files of a certain pattern (say: Extension) are opened by other processes, and I am interested in the full path. Not much else really, maybe the process ID that has opened it. Preferably I would like to do it without root privileges, because I am actually only interested in processes owned by the current user. Right now, I am calling lsof from my code, and just parse the output. This seems like a pretty wasteful way of achieving what I need. It would be great to know if there even is a smarter way of doing this. I did succeed in getting a file list from sysctl, but was unsuccessful in reading the corresponding vnodes (I assume that I was I need to obtain the full path) This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
