Windows did many things wrong, but accessing file descriptors by
numbers is beyond even Windows. In Windows a file is an OS object. You
access it getting an opaque handle to. Note that a handle can be
marshaled from one process to another. Try that with process-local
numbers!
UNIX domain sockets support the passing of file descriptors between
processes.
File descriptor (a pointer to) is not file number.
You cannot pass number 1 simply because 1 is already in use.
You implied above that “accessing descriptors by numbers” is somehow a bad
thing, then when it is pointed out that *nix doesn’t actually work that
way, you somehow insist that is a drawback as well.
