Using pstat_getpathname

[rakeshcs123]

Hi All,
Can anybody tell me how to use pstat_getpathname function to get the pathname of the running process.
man page of pstat_getpathname states that we can use pstat_getproc method to get the fid which in turn will be used in pstat_getpathname method
int pstat_getpathname(
char *buf,
size_t elemcount,
struct pst_fid *fid
);

but i could not find a way to use pstat_getproc to get the fid, although i am able to do so using call to pstat_getfile2 method, but here i need to open file and get the file id of that to pass to pstat_getfile2 function and not directly using the pid of the process.

can any one provide me an example of using pstat_getpathname using pstat_getproc method.

Thanks for your help in advance.

You want the pst_text field of the pst_status structure returned by pstat_getproc() -- that's the "File ID of the process' executable", after all.

>Don: You want the pst_text field

This is a psfileid, 16 bytes (or 32). pst_fid is a 64 byte struct.
Is there a special way to convert them?

[Don Morris_1]

Argh, good catch. pst_fid_text then. That's there all the way back to 11.11LR, so it isn't a recent field thing.

Not really, the compiler and the kernel told me it wasn't working. :-)

I solved my problem with some different technique

What a pity, that you won't tell us this technique...

There are two solutions in rakeshcs123's other thread.
