File name from file descriptor?

[Carlos Ribeiro]

Just for information, on some OS's several file names can point to the same 
file on the disk (on Unix, for instance). In some cases, I that it is 
possible to have a pseudo file without a true name (I think standard input 
is one example, but I'm not sure about the details). Also, fd* 
functionality depend a lot on the OS being used. Could you please tell us 
why do you *need* to make it work using file descriptors?
