-NAME
-
- fdmatch -- see if two file descriptors refer to same file
-
-SYNOPSIS
-
- int fdmatch (int fd1, int fd2)
-
-DESCRIPTION
-
- Check to see if two open file descriptors refer to the same file.
- This is useful, for example, when we have an open file descriptor
- for an unnamed file, and the name of a file that we believe to
- correspond to that fd. This can happen when we are exec'd with
- an already open file (stdout for example) or from the SVR4 /proc
- calls that return open file descriptors for mapped address spaces.
- All we have to do is open the file by name and check the two file
- descriptors for a match, which is done by comparing major&minor
- device numbers and inode numbers.
