This provides an alternative to
fd
for getting the raw file descriptor of a File or IOStream. This is important becausefd
returns anInt
which is a poor choice of return type in the presence ofBase.RawFD
. I copped most of the docstring and implementation fromfd
.This allows folks to write
RawFD(::File)
instead ofRawFD(fd(::File)::Int)
, and eventually may enable us to deprecatefd
