|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The file-descriptor file system, or
|
|
.Nm ,
|
|
provides access to the per-process file descriptor
|
|
namespace in the global file system namespace.
|
|
The conventional mount point is
|
|
.Pa /dev/fd .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The file system's contents
|
|
appear as a list of numbered files
|
|
which correspond to the open files of the process reading the
|
|
directory.
|
|
The files
|
|
.Pa /dev/fd/0
|
|
through
|
|
.Pa /dev/fd/#
|
|
refer to file descriptors which can be accessed through the file
|
|
system.
|
|
If the file descriptor is open and the mode the file is being opened
|
|
with is a subset of the mode of the existing descriptor, the call:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
fd = open("/dev/fd/0", mode);
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
and the call:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
fd = fcntl(0, F_DUPFD, 0);
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
are equivalent.

Flags to the
|
|
.Xr open 2

call other than
|
|
.Dv O_RDONLY ,
|
|
.Dv O_WRONLY
|
|
and
|
|
.Dv O_RDWR
|
|
are ignored.
