The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: IO::Dir::Dirfd
DSLIP: bdhfo
description: extracts a file descriptor from a dirhandle
userid: GRUBER (Anton Berezin)
chapterid: 21 (File_Handle_Input_Output)
communities:
none as of now
similar:
rationale:
Sometimes it is necessary to know the underlying file descriptor of
a directory handle. Neither Perl nor any of perl modules I am aware
of provide this functionality. The module fills the niche, and the
namespace choice was obvious - IO::Dir should be obvious to anyone,
and Dirfd part comes from the clib dirfd function (or define)
implemented on some Unix-like platforms.
