/* Return FD, unless FD would be a copy of standard input, output, or
   error; in that case, return a duplicate of FD, closing FD.  If FLAG
   contains O_CLOEXEC, the returned FD will have close-on-exec
   semantics.  On failure to duplicate, close FD, set errno, and
   return -1.  Preserve errno if FD is negative, so that the caller
   can always inspect errno when the returned value is negative.

   This function is usefully wrapped around functions that return file
   descriptors, e.g., fd_safer_flag (open ("file", O_RDONLY | flag), flag).  */
