Expand description

A trait to extract the raw file descriptor from an underlying object.

This is only available on unix and WASI platforms and must be imported in order to call the method. Windows platforms have a corresponding AsRawHandle and AsRawSocket set of traits.

Required Methods

Extracts the raw file descriptor.

This function is typically used to borrow an owned file descriptor. When used in this way, this method does not pass ownership of the raw file descriptor to the caller, and the file descriptor is only guaranteed to be valid while the original object has not yet been destroyed.

However, borrowing is not strictly required. See [AsFd::as_fd] for an API which strictly borrows a file descriptor.

Example
use std::fs::File;
#[cfg(unix)]
use std::os::unix::io::{AsRawFd, RawFd};
#[cfg(target_os = "wasi")]
use std::os::wasi::io::{AsRawFd, RawFd};

let mut f = File::open("foo.txt")?;
// Note that `raw_fd` is only valid as long as `f` exists.
#[cfg(any(unix, target_os = "wasi"))]
let raw_fd: RawFd = f.as_raw_fd();

Implementors

The file descriptor continues to be owned by the OwningIter, so callers must not keep a RawFd after the OwningIter is dropped.
