  25 Check to see if two open file descriptors refer to the same file.
  26 This is useful, for example, when we have an open file descriptor for
  27 an unnamed file, and the name of a file that we believe to correspond
  28 to that fd.  This can happen when we are exec'd with an already open
  29 file (@code{stdout} for example) or from the SVR4 @file{/proc} calls
  30 that return open file descriptors for mapped address spaces.  All we
  31 have to do is open the file by name and check the two file descriptors
  32 for a match, which is done by comparing major and minor device numbers
  33 and inode numbers.

  37 BUGS
  38
  39         (FIXME: does this work for networks?)
  40         It works for NFS, which assigns a device number to each mount.
