I'll +1 Wayne: this is in no way guaranteed. It's only true for
s6-log if there's only one logdir, and up to the first rotation. It
changes for every rotation - often, but not always, oscillating
between 4 and 6.
If you want to go the "map the current log file" route instead of
the "insert hooks somewhere in the log flow" one, grepping all the
links in /proc/$loggerpid/fd for /current$ sounds like a better
solution - and even then it's still hackish.
