Generally speaking lsof consults the 'files' in the /proc directory, hence realtime kernel memory structures. Refer to the manual pages (man lsof) for more details. If you do not have root privs then the lsof command will only show open files for processes that you own so not sure if that would do you much good?	[reply]
