Re: How to check number of file handles used by process ???

Is there any way to ask system about number of file handles
used by specific process.

From within the process, or from "outside" ?

Some syscall doing something like this:
lsof | grep <process_name> | wc -l

I don't believe any such syscall exist.

but more efficiently ?

If /proc is mounted and you are not looking for a portable solution,
this will probably be more efficient:

ls /proc/<pid>/fd | wc -l
