- From the README.fd file:
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- This is an implementation of the /dev/fd driver. This driver provides
- access to a process's file descriptors via the file system name space.
- For example, when a process opens /dev/fd/9 the operation performed is
- the equivalent of dup(9).
- Standard input/output/error (i.e. descriptors 0,1,2) are also visible
- as /dev/{stdin,stdout,stderr}.
-
- This is a loadable driver. Check the README file in the tar archive
- for instructions on how to set up your system so that the driver is
- loaded automatically at system boot time.
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The driver is available via anonymous ftp from mystique.cs.colorado.edu in
- the pub/kernel directory. It is in compressed archive form: fd.1.0.tar.Z
