file descriptor
(foldoc) | file descriptor
An integer that identifies an
open file within a process. This number is obtained as a
result of opening a file. Operations which read, write, or
close a file would take the file descriptor as an input
parameter.
In many operating system implementations, file descriptors
are small integers which index a table of open files. In
Unix, file descriptors 0, 1 and 2 correspond to the
standard input, standard output and standard error files
respectively.
See file descriptor leak.

file descriptor leak
(foldoc) | file descriptor leak
fd leak
(Or "fd leak" /F D leek/) A kind of programming
bug analogous to a core leak, in which a program fails to
close file descriptors ("fd"s) after file operations are
completed, and thus eventually runs out of them.
See leak.
