given a struct sock, how to find pid of process that owns it?: msg#00087

Subject: given a struct sock, how to find pid of process that owns it?

I'm working on a small app similar to netstat that only cares about unix sockets.

I can easily walk /proc/net/unix, but to find the owner of the socket I need to scan /proc, which gets expensive.

Accordingly, I'd like to extend /proc/net/unix to also dump out the pid of the process that owns the socket. The only thing is, I can't seem to figure out how to find the pid of the socket owner given a pointer to the socket struct.

Any tips?  Is it even there?

Thanks,

Chris
