Research direction

Start by locating the Python fcntl module's platform-specific constants and compare the existing macOS F_GETPATH exposure with FreeBSD 13.1 definitions. Done means F_KINFO is available from the fcntl module on supported FreeBSD versions, with coverage for the platform-specific behavior; gh-99988 is already linked to this work.
