15 // FileDescriptor is a type used to encapsulate D-Bus file descriptors
16 // and to follow the RAII idiom appropiate for use with message operations
17 // where the descriptor might be easily leaked. To guard against this the
18 // descriptor is closed when an instance is destroyed if it is owned.
19 // Ownership is asserted only when PutValue is used and TakeValue can be
20 // used to take ownership.
22 // For example, in the following
23 // FileDescriptor fd;
24 // if (!reader->PopString(&name) ||
25 // !reader->PopFileDescriptor(&fd) ||
26 // !reader->PopUint32(&flags)) {
27 // the descriptor in fd will be closed if the PopUint32 fails. But
28 // writer.AppendFileDescriptor(dbus::FileDescriptor(1));
29 // will not automatically close "1" because it is not owned.
31 // Descriptors must be validated before marshalling in a D-Bus message
32 // or using them after unmarshalling. We disallow descriptors to a
33 // directory to reduce the security risks. Splitting out validation
34 // also allows the caller to do this work on the File thread to conform
35 // with i/o restrictions.
