| FileDescriptor is the lowest level representation of a File, Device, or
Socket. You can create any of the IO classes which take a FileDescriptor as
an argument by querying an open Socket or File for the FileDescriptor.
The FileDescriptor class also contains static fields representing Standard
Input, Output and Error. You can use these directly if desired but it is
recommended you go through System.in, System.out, and System.err streams
respectively.
Applications should not create new FileDescriptors.
