That path (and anything below /proc, really) is a list of open file descriptors specifically on Linux, not "*nix". Also on linux, you can avoid "<your pid here>" by just doing "/proc/self". A more portable (albeit not standard) path for "what file descriptors do I have open" is /dev/fd/. This is supported via a symlink to /proc/self on all the Linuxes I've tested on. There's no portable standard equivalent for not-yourself processes that I'm aware of, though. See more discussion here: <http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/4522>.
