Thanks for your reply Arvin. the concern however is not loading the system if the query is to be performed frequently and fetching metadata of media files locally played. We can avoid complex process like electronic music fingerprinting. The intermediate objective is something like that.

From the man page you can do something like this:

lsof -F | grep MyApp


Excerpt from the man page of lsof:

OUTPUT FOR OTHER PROGRAMS
      When the -F option is specified, lsof produces output that is
suitable for processing by another program - e.g, an awk or Perl script,
or a C program.

Run the command in a terminal window and see what your output is.

Thanks,
Arvin

Hi list members,
I have searched for and have seen "lsof" command can be used and the
output can be then filtered out.
Although i can filter the information based on the extensions of files
but how can i get the information if the opened file is a url. The
best case can be of an audio stream or something like that.

I am not getting way hoe to do  it.

Thanks

Hi,

Is there any method to know what files are opened by any application?
