Subject: Re: fopen with "e" mode to close file descriptor in exec... functions
Just a question about lsof options. On Ubuntu "lsof -q" gives: "lsof:
illegal option character: q".
Shouldn't busybox "lsof -p" give the similar error message?
Is there an open request to support "lsof -p" option in busybox?
Thanks,
Alexandr.
