[erlang-questions] size of an open file

[Bengt Kleberg]

Greetings,

You have 2 possibilities according to the manual of the file module:
1) file:position/2 should return the file size, if called with 'eof' as
Position
2) if this is for debugging you can use file:pid2name/1 and get the file
name (for subsequent use in file:read_file_info/1).
