Number of open files (Dir's) how to close?
I am having a client/server application which will download files from server. If server has directories, it will create directories/sub directories and then download files. In this process, I observed that number of open files are more than 400 (which is approxmately same as number of dir/subdir that I downloaded from server) using "lsof -p pid" command. The o/p of lsof command has "DIR" Type files with file descriptor as "Read".
I did't understand why the Type "DIR" is in read mode. Under what conditions it will take place?

bup-server

bup-server(1)						      General Commands Manual						     bup-server(1)

NAME

       bup-server - the server side of the bup client-server relationship

SYNOPSIS

       bup server

DESCRIPTION

       bup server  is  the  server  side of a remote bup session.  If you use bup-split(1) or bup-save(1) with the -r option, they will ssh to the
       remote server and run bup server to receive the transmitted objects.

       There is normally no reason to run bup server yourself.

MODES

       smart  In this mode, the server checks each incoming object against the idx files in its repository.  If  any  object  already  exists,	it
	      tells  the  client  about  the  idx file it was found in, allowing the client to download that idx and avoid sending duplicate data.
	      This is bup-server's default mode.

       dumb   In this mode, the server will not check its local index before writing an object.  To avoid writing duplicate  objects,  the  server
	      will tell the client to download all of its .idx files at the start of the session.  This mode is useful on low powered server hard-
	      ware (ie router/slow NAS).

FILES

       $BUP_DIR/bup-dumb-server
	      Activate dumb server mode, as discussed above.  This file is not created by default in new repositories.
