I need a method which will give me the paths of all files which the current OS 
X process (*) has open.  Yes, this is for a benevolent hack and no, I am not 
sandboxed.

I’m considering using getpid() and passing the result to /usr/sbin/lsof with a 
-p option.  This works very fast in Terminal.app, but I’m hoping for something 
less fragile (lsof has lots of weird options including a timeout) and more 
lightweight.

Thanks,

Jerry Krinock

(*) Actually, this code is going in to a binary plug-in in another app, so my 
plug-in is going to get the open files of its host app.  The purpose is to work 
around a deficiency in the host app’s plug-in API.
