Unfortunately, devfs on FreeBSD (accessible via /dev/fd) exposes only those FDs which can be represented as a file. To cite manpage [1]: The files /dev/fd/0 through /dev/fd/# refer to file descriptors which can be accessed through the file system. This means FDs representing pipes and/or unnamed sockets are not visible by default. To expose all FDs a slightly different filesystem must be mounted [2]: mount -t fdescfs none /dev/fd Apparently, on my test machine fdescfs is mounted by default and thus I haven't seen any problem. Only after aforementioned patch was merged our CI started reporting problems. While we could try to figure out whether correct FS is mounted, it's a needless micro optimization. Just revert the code to the state it was before I touched it. 1: https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=fd&sektion=4&manpath=freebsd-release-ports 2: https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=fdescfs&sektion=5&n=1 This reverts commit 308ec0fb2c77f4867179f00c628f05d1d784f370.

Libvirt API for virtualization
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
