PEEKFD(1)							   User Commands							 PEEKFD(1)

NAME

       peekfd - peek at file descriptors of running processes

SYNOPSIS

       peekfd [-8,--eight-bit-clean] [-n,--no-headers] [-f,--follow] [-d,--duplicates-removed] [-V,--version] [-h,--help] pid [fd] [fd] ...

DESCRIPTION

       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.
