+.SH NAME
+/proc/pid/fdinfo/ \- information about file descriptors
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.TP
+.IR /proc/ pid /fdinfo/ " (since Linux 2.6.22)"
+This is a subdirectory containing one entry for each file which the
+process has open, named by its file descriptor.
+The files in this directory are readable only by the owner of the process.
+The contents of each file can be read to obtain information
+about the corresponding file descriptor.
+The content depends on the type of file referred to by the
+corresponding file descriptor.
+.IP
+For regular files and directories, we see something like:
+.IP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+.RB "$" " cat /proc/12015/fdinfo/4"
+pos: 1000
+flags: 01002002
+mnt_id: 21
+.EE
+.in
+.IP
+The fields are as follows:
+.RS
+.TP
+.I pos
+This is a decimal number showing the file offset.
+.TP
+.I flags
+This is an octal number that displays the
+file access mode and file status flags (see
+.BR open (2)).
+If the close-on-exec file descriptor flag is set, then
+.I flags
+will also include the value
+.BR O_CLOEXEC .
+.IP
+Before Linux 3.1,
+.\" commit 1117f72ea0217ba0cc19f05adbbd8b9a397f5ab7
+this field incorrectly displayed the setting of
+.B O_CLOEXEC
+at the time the file was opened,
+rather than the current setting of the close-on-exec flag.

+Each of the lines beginning

+The

+field is the number of the file descriptor.
+The

+descriptor.

+see

+Each of the lines beginning with "inotify" displays information about

+The fields in this line are as follows:
+.RS
+.TP
+.I wd

+.TP
+.I ino
+The inode number of the target file (in hexadecimal).
+.TP
+.I sdev
+The ID of the device where the target file resides (in hexadecimal).
+.TP
+.I mask

+.RE
+.IP
+If the kernel was built with exportfs support, the path to the target
+file is exposed as a file handle, via three hexadecimal fields:

+.IP
+Each additional line shown in the file contains information
+about one of the marks in the fanotify group.
+Most of these fields are as for inotify, except:

+.BR CLOCK_REALTIME ).

+.I ticks
+This is the number of timer expirations that have occurred,

+.TP
+.I settime flags
+This field lists the flags with which the timerfd was last armed (see

+.B TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME
+and
+.B TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET
+are set).
+.TP
+.I it_value
+This field contains the amount of time until the timer will next expire,
+expressed in seconds and nanoseconds.
+This is always expressed as a relative value,
+regardless of whether the timer was created using the
+.B TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME
+flag.
+.TP
+.I it_interval
+This field contains the interval of the timer,
