peekfd
attaches to a running process and intercepts all reads
and writes to file descriptors. You can specify the
desired file descriptor numbers or dump all of them.
OPTIONS
-8
Do no post-processing on the bytes being read or written.
-n
Do not display headers indicating the source of the bytes dumped.
-c
Also dump the requested file descriptor activity in any new child processes that are created.
-d
Remove duplicate read/writes from the output. If you're looking at a tty with echo, you might want this.
-v
Display a version string.
-h
Display a help message.
FILES
/proc/*/fd
Not used but useful for the user to look at to get good file descriptor numbers.
ENVIRONMENT
None.
DIAGNOSTICS
The following diagnostics may be issued on stderr:
Error attaching to pid ...
An unknown error occured while attempted to attach to a process.. you may need to be root.
BUGS
Probably lots. Don't be surprised if the process you are monitoring dies.
