how to check open file without lsof

In linux, I use lsof to check the file is opened by which process. I have an android device, but no lsof command. Is it possible to find which process open the specific file ?

I will use it to verify the MediaPlayer hold a fd, but it should be closed.

Solution

  • Poor man's lsof is to execute 

    ls -l  /proc/[process id]/fd

    Still, you need to be root.
