+
+    <i>Recvfd</i> and <i>sendfd</i> can be used to pass an open file descriptor
+    over a Unix domain socket from one process to another. Since <a href="../man3/pipe.html"><i>pipe</i>(3)</a>
+    is implemented with <a href="../man2/socketpair.html"><i>socketpair</i>(2)</a> instead of <a href="../man2/pipe.html"><i>pipe</i>(2)</a>, <i>socket</i> can
+    be a file descriptor obtained from <a href="../man3/pipe.html"><i>pipe</i>(3)</a>. 
+    <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
+    
+    <i>Sendfd</i> sends the file descriptor <i>fd</i> along the socket to a process
+    calling <i>recvfd</i> on the other end. 
+    <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
+    
+    It is assumed that the two sides have coordinated and agreed to
+    transfer a file descriptor already, so that the <i>sendfd</i> is met
+    with a <i>recvfd</i> instead of an ordinary <i>read</i>. 
+    <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
+    
+    The file descriptor number may change on its way between processes,
+    but the kernel structure it represents will not.<br>
