The URLs of the form `help://man/<section>/<page>` link to another help page inside the help application. All previous relative page links are replaced by this new form. This doesn't change any behavior but it looks much nicer :^) Note that man doesn't handle these new links, but the previous relative links didn't work either.

Name
sendfd - send a file descriptor to a local socket peer
Synopsis
#include <sys/socket.h>
int sendfd(int sockfd, int fd);
Description
Send an open file descriptor to a local socket peer connected via sockfd
. This is a non-blocking call that will fail if there are too many file descriptors already waiting to be received by the peer.
File descriptors are sent out-of-band and do not affect the regular data streams.
Return value
If a file descriptor is successfully sent, sendfd()
returns 0. Otherwise, -1 is returned and errno
is set to indicate the error.
Errors
