NAME

	fdmatch -- see if two file descriptors refer to same file

SYNOPSIS

	int fdmatch (int fd1, int fd2)

DESCRIPTION

	Check to see if two open file descriptors refer to the same file.
	This is useful, for example, when we have an open file descriptor
	for an unnamed file, and the name of a file that we believe to 
	correspond to that fd.  This can happen when we are exec'd with
	an already open file (stdout for example) or from the SVR4 /proc
	calls that return open file descriptors for mapped address spaces.
	All we have to do is open the file by name and check the two file
	descriptors for a match, which is done by comparing major&minor
	device numbers and inode numbers.

BUGS

	(FIXME: does this work for networks?)
	It works for NFS, which assigns a device number to each mount.
