NAME
|
dup – dups of open files |
SYNOPSIS
|
bind #d /fd /fd/0 /fd/0ctl /fd/1 /fd/1ctl ... |
DESCRIPTION
|
The dup device serves a one–level directory containing files whose
names are decimal numbers. Each such file also has an associated
control file. A file of name n corresponds to open file descriptor
n in the current process. An open(2) of file n results in a file descriptor identical to what would be returned from a system call dup(n, –1). Note that the result is no longer a file in the dup device. The stat operation returns information about the device file, not the open file it points to. A stat of #d/n will contain n for the name, 0 for the length, and 0400, 0200, or 0600 for the mode, depending on whether the dup target is open for reading, writing, or both.
A file of name nctl may be read to discover the properties of
the associated file descriptor, in format identical to that of
the fd file in proc(3). |
