// We introduct a special structure for file descriptors in order that we are
// able to use template specialisation to special-case their handling.
//
// IMPORTANT: This is primarily intended for use when sending file descriptors
// over IPC. Even if |auto_close| is true, base::FileDescriptor does NOT close()
// |fd| when going out of scope. Instead, a consumer of a base::FileDescriptor
// must invoke close() on |fd| if |auto_close| is true.
//
// In the case of IPC, the IPC subsystem knows to close() |fd| after sending
// a message that contains a base::FileDescriptor if auto_close == true. On the
// other end, the receiver must make sure to close() |fd| after it has finished
// processing the IPC message. See the IPC::ParamTraits<> specialization in
// ipc/ipc_message_utils.h for all the details.
