[erlang-questions] fd and controlling process

Finally, I've managed to do it:
F = fun(P, Acc) -> case catch prim_inet:getfd(P) of {ok, FD} -> [{FD, P} 
| Acc]; _ -> Acc end end.
L = lists:foldl(F, [], erlang:ports()).
Port = proplists:get_value(MyFD, L).

Pay attention that prim_inet is internal module of VM, so it's usage 
should be avoided in any production code!
