Hallo Denys! > Newer bash seems to use /proc/PID/fd/NNN. Need to investigate hot it does > that. That don't need to be investigated and isn't difficult to do:
- use open() or creat() to create a file or maybe pipe()/fork() to run a child process - in case a file is created temporarily do an unlink() while still holding the file open - use sprintf( "/proc/%u/fd/%d", getpid(), your_open_fd ) That's it. The file still exists on file system until all references to it's file descriptor got closed and is automatically removed afterwards. Also a well known practice (without that /proc/... stuff) handling temporary files under Unix without having the risk that unused files get not removed after termination of the process (even if killed unexpectedly / unhandled). ... additionally it keeps foreign eyes from tweaking at temporary file contents. If you do the unlink right after creat or open the chance that any other process can open and access the file is extremely low. -- Harald _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
