/**
* 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.
*
* @etymology (Reopen) file!
*
* @param fd The file descriptor.
* @param oflag How the file shall be opened, see open(3).
* `O_CREAT` is not allowed.
* @return Zero on success, -1 on error.
*
* @throws EINVAL `oflag` contains `O_CREAT`.
* @throws EINVAL `fd` is negative.
* @throws Any error specified for open(3).
* @throws Any error specified for dup2(3).
*
* @since Always.
