I'm implementing a PerlIO::APR layer to transparently work with apr_file_t * from Perl. I must implement Perl_fileno() which returns a file descriptor (int on unix or its alternatives) which can be then fed into fstat(2) on unix or the alt function on other platforms.
Currently APR doesn't expose filedesc struct member, I suppose mostly due to the fact that not all supported platforms use the same form of filedesc. I see that os2 and win are different from netware and unix.
Is it possible to expose something like apr_fileno which will return its appropriate filehandle/fd?
Thanks Jeff and Ryan, I didn't know about this function. I was sure that apr_file_io.h specifies all the file manipulation functions (+apr_file_info.h).
Use apr_os_file_get.

This will work on Unix, but Windows and OS/2 will return to OS specific handle. For those, you will need OS specific code to convert it to a filedes.
so there was no need to have this implemented in APR so far, but APR could benefit from having such a function, right?
