Description

This small low-level module only has one purpose: pass a file descriptor to another process, using a (streaming) Unix domain socket (on POSIX systems) or any (streaming) socket (on WIN32 systems). The ability to pass file descriptors on windows is currently the unique selling point of this module. Have I mentioned that it is really small, too?

In the other systems

The newest version among them is 1.3, as upstream numbers it.
