Hi Friends,
	I am working on my M.S. Thesis. I am extending the command language of
GDB(Gnu Debugger) for Sun3 running BSD unix. One of the features I am trying 
to add is to be able to save the context of a process at any point in the 
user program, so that at later stage program can be restarted from that point.
I have got some success in doing that. I am having a problem, If the program,
which I am debugging has some files open. I am unable to know which files were
 open, so that the status of those files can be restored.

	Of course one of the things I am saving is a user structure, which 
contains most of the info regarding process context. I somehow want to
recover the names of the open files from this struct or from anywhere else.
I will highly appreciate if some Guru could tell me some way of achieving
that.
	Thanx in advance.
