|

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
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.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Opening the files
|
|
.Pa /dev/stdin ,
|
|
.Pa /dev/stdout
|
|
and
|
|
.Pa /dev/stderr
|
|
is equivalent to the following calls:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
fd = fcntl(STDIN_FILENO, F_DUPFD, 0);
|
|
fd = fcntl(STDOUT_FILENO, F_DUPFD, 0);
|
|
fd = fcntl(STDERR_FILENO, F_DUPFD, 0);

Flags to the
|
|
.Xr open 2
|
|
call other than
|
|
.Dv O_RDONLY ,
|
|
.Dv O_WRONLY
|
|
and
|
|
.Dv O_RDWR
|
|
are ignored.
|
|
.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
|
|
By default,
|
|
.Pa /dev/fd
|
|
is provided by
|
|
.Xr devfs 5 ,
|
|
which provides nodes for the first three file descriptors.
|
|
Some sites may require nodes for additional file descriptors; these can be
|
|
made available by mounting
|
|
.Xr fdescfs 5
|
|
on
|
|
.Pa /dev/fd .
