Is there a way to tell through /proc or something else which files a process has open and more importantly what position the read pointer is in for that open file?
As an example if I am reading a file with a program I have no control over, and I kill that program, I need to know when in the data file that program was reading at that time.
Is this information available and if so how to read it?
Thanks,
Jerry

man lsof <- for the list of files opened by a program man strace <- to take a peak at what the program is doing
Have a nice day everyone, Alex
