| No, I've created a file descriptor, which is, by definition, an integer.

[... snip ...]
I'm with Steven here.
You've made a number that can be used with calls that access the
OS file descriptor table. But it isn't a file descriptor. (Yes, the
in-program number is just a number either way.)
The descriptor table is an in-kernel data structure, filled with
file descriptors. All you have is a label that may or may not access
a file descriptor.
Anyway, we all know _what_ goes on. We're just having terminology issues.
Cheers,
