FD_RENUMBER
WASI Preview1 function fd_renumber
Definition:
;;; Atomically replace a file descriptor by renumbering another file descriptor.
;;
;;; Due to the strong focus on thread safety, this environment does not provide
;;; a mechanism to duplicate or renumber a file descriptor to an arbitrary
;;; number, like `dup2()`. This would be prone to race conditions, as an actual
;;; file descriptor with the same number could be allocated by a different
;;; thread at the same time.
;;
;;; This function provides a way to atomically renumber file descriptors, which
;;; would disappear if `dup2()` were to be removed entirely.
(@interface func (export "fd_renumber")
(param $fd $fd)
;;; The file descriptor to overwrite.
(param $to $fd)
(result $error (expected (error $errno)))
