That's what I assume too. But, should normal commands really get access
to those fds?

While building a release I saw in fstat that commands started from make

setting FD_CLOEXEC/closing before fork on these ? While this is not
really critical it opens up possibilities to clobber at least the output
and gobble up
input data with misbehaved programs.
I believe parallel make passes tokens through fds to children to keep
track of how many parallel makes are running.
