You can not reliably obtain a file name from a file descriptor. The best you can hope for is to find a file name that resolves to the vnode that the file descriptor is associated with. The file name you find (if you do - there is no guarantee) may or may not be the name by which the file was opened. DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=C3=B8rgrav - des@des.no
