Elixir Cross Referencer

You have a file descriptor (probably from a syscall), and you want the
corresponding pathname.

If you are on newer versions of DTrace, there is the fds[] array,

# dtrace -n 'syscall::read:entry { @[fds[arg0].fi_pathname] = count(); }'
dtrace: description 'syscall::read:entry ' matched 1 probe
^C

easy.

but if you are on an older version of DTrace, try this to convert from
this->fd to self->vpath,

        this->filep =
	    curthread->t_procp->p_user.u_finfo.fi_list[this->fd].uf_file;
        this->vnodep = this->filep != 0 ? this->filep->f_vnode : 0;
        self->vpath = this->vnodep ? (this->vnodep->v_path != 0 ?
            cleanpath(this->vnodep->v_path) : "<unknown>") : "<unknown>";
