What do you mean exactly?

If you want to know how many open files your application has at any one
time then I'd have to question your overall design and implementation.
IMO there should be no reason for you not to know that. A program that
doesn't know what state it's in sounds very dubious to me.

If you want to know how many files your application has opened in total
(ie;how many times has open() been called) then I can think of no
standard way to do that. The easiest way would be to have all file I/O
open requests go through your own routine that can keep a count. This
can only be enforced through programming convention but it's not a bad
idea.

We always use our own home grown functions (classes in more recent
code) because for us having that kind of centralised control over file
I/O offers many advantages. Logging all I/O is not something we bother
with at the moment but it would certainly be one application.
