File descriptor 9 and VLC.
While vlc is producing sound from M1357873276.WAV this
is observed.
peter@dalton:~$ lsof /home/peter/*.WAV
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
vlc 10888 peter 9u REG 8,6 20470 3612711 /home/peter/M1357873276.WAV
man lsof explains,
"The mode character is followed by one of these lock charac-
ters, describing the type of lock applied to the file:
...
u for a read and write lock of any length;"
A write lock would prevent another process from writing to
the file while vlc is working.
Can anyone tell me the meaning of file descriptor 9?
Thanks, ... Peter E.
