How to list the open file descriptors (and the files they refer to) in my current bash session
Yes, this will list all open file descriptors:
$ ls -la /proc/$$/fd
total 0
dr-x------ 2 isaac isaac 0 Dec 28 00:56 .
dr-xr-xr-x 9 isaac isaac 0 Dec 28 00:56 ..
lrwx------ 1 isaac isaac 64 Dec 28 00:56 0 -> /dev/pts/6
lrwx------ 1 isaac isaac 64 Dec 28 00:56 1 -> /dev/pts/6
lrwx------ 1 isaac isaac 64 Dec 28 00:56 2 -> /dev/pts/6
lrwx------ 1 isaac isaac 64 Dec 28 00:56 255 -> /dev/pts/6
l-wx------ 1 isaac isaac 64 Dec 28 00:56 4 -> /home/isaac/testfile.txt
Of course, as usual: 0 is stdin, 1 is stdout and 2 is stderr.
The 4th is an open file (to write) in this case.
Assuming you want to list the file descriptors that are attached to any terminal, you can use lsof
/fuser
or similar like:
$ lsof -p $$ 2>/dev/null | awk '$NF ~ /\/pts\//'
bash 32406 foobar 0u CHR 136,31 0t0 34 /dev/pts/31
bash 32406 foobar 1u CHR 136,31 0t0 34 /dev/pts/31
bash 32406 foobar 2u CHR 136,31 0t0 34 /dev/pts/31
bash 32406 foobar 3u CHR 136,31 0t0 34 /dev/pts/31
bash 32406 foobar 255u CHR 136,31 0t0 34 /dev/pts/31
These tools basically parse /proc
, so you can just access /proc/$$/fd/
too e.g.:
ls /proc/$$/fd/*
lsof -a -p $$
Network fd only:
lsof -i -a -p $$
