Description

fdtools is a set of utilities for working with file descriptors. With these tools, you can examine and manipulate file descriptor properties from shell scripts, where without them you might have resorted to a different language. These tools can rewind file descriptors, switch them between blocking and nonblocking mode, and examine their inode information. On some systems (currently only Linux, as far as I know) they can also allocate, lock, and switch virtual consoles.

Install

Binary package:

pkgin install fdtools
