Determine the number of file-handles left

[Michael Ströder]

HI!

I'm trying to run a multi-threaded HTTP demon on my ISP's system
where I only have 24 file handles.

I'm running into the situation where all file handles are grabbed by
my demon and nothing works anymore. Therefore I would like to avoid
this dead-lock situation by refusing connects if there are only a
few file-handles left.

Any idea how to determine the number of file-handles left for the
user?

Ciao, Michael.
