DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
FFccnnttll() provides for control over descriptors. The argument _f_d is a de
scriptor to be operated on by _c_m_d as follows:
F_DUPFD Return a new descriptor as follows:
oo Lowest numbered available descriptor greater than or
equal to _a_r_g.
oo Same object references as the original descriptor.
oo New descriptor shares the same file offset if the ob
ject was a file.
oo Same access mode (read, write or read/write).
oo Same file status flags (i.e., both file descriptors
share the same file status flags).
oo The closeonexec flag associated with the new file
descriptor is set to remain open across execv(2) sys
tem calls.
F_GETFD Get the closeonexec flag associated with the file descriptor
_f_d. If the loworder bit of the returned value is 0, the file
will remain open across eexxeecc(), otherwise the file will be
closed upon execution of eexxeecc() (_a_r_g is ignored).
F_SETFD Set the closeonexec flag associated with _f_d to the low order
bit of _a_r_g (0 or 1 as above).
F_GETFL Get descriptor status flags, as described below (_a_r_g is ig
nored).
F_SETFL Set descriptor status flags to _a_r_g.
F_GETOWN Get the process ID or process group currently receiving SIGIO
and SIGURG signals; process groups are returned as negative
values (_a_r_g is ignored).
F_SETOWN Set the process or process group to receive SIGIO and SIGURG
signals; process groups are specified by supplying _a_r_g as neg
ative, otherwise _a_r_g is interpreted as a process ID.
The flags for the F_GETFL and F_SETFL flags are as follows:
O_NDELAY Nonblocking I/O; if no data is available to a read call, or
if a write operation would block, the read or write call re
turns 1 with the error EWOULDBLOCK.
O_APPEND Force each write to append at the end of file; corresponds to
the O_APPEND flag of open(2).
O_ASYNC Enable the SIGIO signal to be sent to the process group when
I/O is possible, e.g., upon availability of data to be read.
RREETTUURRNN VVAALLUUEESS
Upon successful completion, the value returned depends on _c_m_d as follows:
F_DUPFD A new file descriptor.
F_GETFD Value of flag (only the loworder bit is defined).
F_GETFL Value of flags.
F_GETOWN Value of file descriptor owner.
other Value other than 1.
Otherwise, a value of 1 is returned and _e_r_r_n_o is set to indicate the er
ror.
EERRRROORRSS
FFccnnttll() will fail if:
[EBADF] _F_i_l_d_e_s is not a valid open file descriptor.
[EMFILE] _C_m_d is F_DUPFD and the maximum allowed number of file de
scriptors are currently open.
[EINVAL] _C_m_d is F_DUPFD and _a_r_g is negative or greater than the max
imum allowable number (see getdtablesize(2)).
[ESRCH] _C_m_d is F_SETOWN and the process ID given as argument is not
in use.

BBUUGGSS
The asynchronous I/O facilities of FNDELAY and FASYNC are currently
available only for tty and socket operations.

The ffccnnttll function call appeared in 4.2BSD.
