lsof
Lsof is a Unix-specific diagnostic tool. Its name stands for LiSt Open Files, and it does just that. It lists information about any files that are open by processes currently running on the system. It can also list communications open by each process.

Hi;
I saw this article saying "lsof for version for AMD 64-bit processors with the 64-bit Solaris 10 kernel is being worked on."
I have this problem where i get this:
# lsof
lsof: FATAL: lsof was compiled for a 32 bit kernel,
but this machine has booted a 64 bit kernel.
Below is my machine info:
# isainfo
amd64 i386
# isainfo -v
64-bit amd64 applications
sse3 sse2 sse fxsr amd_3dnowx amd_3dnow amd_mmx mmx cmov amd_sysc cx8
tsc fpu
32-bit i386 applications
sse3 sse2 sse fxsr amd_3dnowx amd_3dnow amd_mmx mmx cmov amd_sysc cx8
tsc fpu

64
lsof version used: lsof_4.78.tar.gz
gcc=gcc version 3.4.4
cc=cc: Sun C 5.8 2005/10/13
Can I confirm with you if lsof_4.78 for version for AMD 64-bit processors with the 64-bit Solaris 10 kernel is not working yet too?
If the answer is no, can you suggest, what I should do to correct the error?
Thanks
nice work
lsof is great, thanks ;)
Keep the good work up.

I successfully downloaded the 'lsof' source
from 'wuarchive.wustl.edu' and they appear to have
a good set of current binaries for the latest os
levels as well.
Although not in the suggested list, you can
also download the source (one release back) and
the Solaris binary from:
