max # of file handles

I'm trying to debug a Cocoa app that occasionally exceeds the max
allowable number of file handles open and I'm wondering if there's a
way to query how many are actually open.  I haven't found anything in
the docs.  Does anyone know where I might find a reference to such a
function?

thanks,
wes
