When I do: ls -lsa /proc/<pid>/fd
I often see fds open on pipes, and the notation is like:
3 -> pipe:[123456]
where 123456 is a sequence of usually between 6 and 8 digits. My question
is: To what does this number map? What does it mean?
Almost certainly, there is something else in /proc that contains this
number and identifies the pipe in use. Usually, I'm pretty good about
sussing things like this out - usually the answer is in "man /proc", but
this one has me stumped.
