Get Information about a socket programmatically












0















When looking at a TCP Socket with /proc/$PID/fd/$FD using readlink I can see it's a socket and a socket number (ID?), e.g.:



67 -> socket:[13005]


but how am I able to programmatically get actual information for that socket, like lsof is doing it? (e.g. hostname or portnumber)

    Do `man 7 socket' and take it from there.
