[erlang-questions] Counters for open sockets )

[Kenneth Lundin]

Hi,

You can start like this with finding information about all ports.
Every socket corresponds to a port,
and every open file does also correspond to a port.

[erlang:port_info(P)||P <- erlang:ports()].

% this will give you a list of port_info tuples per port like this
(from a new started Erlang shell)
[[{name,"efile"},
  {links,[<0.3.0>]},
  {id,1},
  {connected,<0.3.0>},
  {input,0},
  {output,0}],
 [{name,"efile"},
  {links,[<0.18.0>]},
  {id,89},
  {connected,<0.18.0>},
  {input,0},
  {output,0}],
 [{name,"2/2"},
  {links,[<0.21.0>]},
  {id,363},
  {connected,<0.21.0>},
  {input,0},
  {output,0}],
 [{name,"tty_sl -c -e"},
  {links,[<0.23.0>]},
  {id,372},
  {connected,<0.23.0>},
  {input,107},
  {output,762}]]
