I would use lsof to get this information ("lsof -p PID").

|  |     You can also use "kdbx -k /vmunix" and say "file" to display
    the file table, which lists open files per process id.

One way:  First, I pointed my browser at http://altavista.digital.com,
typed "lsof" and hit the Submit button, and it came up with a number of
pointers to places to get it.  The first was an archive, and several others
were, too.  This is how I got my copy,

| 9380.7 | what about fuser? | USCTR1::ASCHER | Dave Ascher | Fri Apr 04 1997 12:20 | 5 | 
|  | 
    Is there some reason why nobody mentioned "fuser". It seems
    to me that it works more reliably across versions of the o.s.

|  |     I believe this with fuser is that it's in the SVE package and
    requires a separate license.
    
    For UNIX 98 conformance, an fuser command will have to be in
    the OS, so we'll get one everyone can use eventually.

| 9380.9 | public fuser available | ALFAM7::STREPPEL |  | Tue Apr 08 1997 07:33 | 7 | 
|  |     We hacked a public version of fuser a while ago. It works fine, has a 
    lot of useful options and we use it a lot. I put a complete gzipped
    tar file on nasaxp.rto.dec.com which can be reached via anonymous ftp.
    There is also a binary version of fuser available.
