    What's the best way to determine the filename given an inode?

    I know about lsof which does this for me, but I don't have lsof
    On many of my machines.

    When truss-ing a process I see the open file pointers:

            [root@server] truss -p 2112
            ....
            read(3, "F1 %\v\b", 4) = 4
            read(3, "A1ABE9D5", 4) = 4
            poll(0xFFBFF148, 2, -1) = 1
            write(5, "8D1FD403 l J oBE1FC4 v 8".., 2000) = 2000
            poll(0xFFBFF148, 2, -1) (sleeping...)
            poll(0xFFBFF148, 2, -1) = 1
            ....

    Then I use pfiles <PID> to get the inode

            [root@server] pfiles 2112
            2112: /usr/lib/ssh/sshd
              Current rlimit: 2048 file descriptors
               0: S_IFCHR mode:0666 dev:240,0 ino:985623 uid:0 gid:3 rdev:13,2
                  O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE
               1: S_IFCHR mode:0666 dev:240,0 ino:985623 uid:0 gid:3 rdev:13,2
                  O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE
               2: S_IFCHR mode:0666 dev:240,0 ino:985623 uid:0 gid:3 rdev:13,2
                  O_RDWR|O_LARGEFILE
               3: S_IFCHR mode:0644 dev:240,0 ino:986876 uid:0 gid:3 rdev:190,1
                  O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE
               4: S_IFDOOR mode:0444 dev:338,0 ino:8456 uid:0 gid:0 size:0
                  O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE FD_CLOEXEC door to nscd[2455]
               5: S_IFSOCK mode:0666 dev:332,0 ino:63363 uid:0 gid:0 size:0
                  O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK

    Now how do I get the Fully qualified filename?
    Anybody have a suggestion?
