+ * Reopen a file via its file descriptor. The old file descriptor
+ * is closed and replace with the new open file descriptor.
+ * 
+ * This function call is different from the `dup` function-family
+ * in two ways: (1) you can select news flags, for example, if
+ * `fd` was read-only, the new file descriptor can be write-only,
+ * and (2) the file descriptor is not duplicated, the file is
+ * reopened.
+ * 
+ * This function is useful if you want to reopen a file you do
+ * now know the pathname, you do not want to create a new string
+ * with the pathname, or if the the file no longer has a pathname
+ * because it has been unlinked.
+ * 
+ * Because the file is reopened, the file position is reset and
+ * is not shared with any duplicates of `fd`, unlike a call to
+ * dup(3). it is visible to the filesystem as a new open file
+ * descriptor and is distinguished from the duplocates of `fd`,
+ * and all file locks associated with `fd` are lost, except for
+ * on the duplicates of `fd`, which means that you can create
+ * new locks without removing locks from the duplicates of `fd`.
+ * 
+ * This is a slibc extension.
