summary:
[3.14] On FreeBSD, use /dev/fd/ in fd_count() if it's mounted (GH-160210)
(#160221)
On FreeBSD, use /dev/fd/ in fd_count() if it's mounted (GH-160210)
fd_count() can now use /dev/fd/ fdescfs file system if it's mounted,
which is not the case by default. Otherwise, call os.dup(fd) in a
loop which is slow since os.sysconf("SC_OPEN_MAX") is larger than
200,000 by default.
