Description
Feature gate: #![feature(stdio_fd_consts)]
This is a tracking issue for BorrowedFd<'static> constants for stdin, stdout and stderr.
This feature enables I/O-safe access to the stdio file descriptors without touching the higher-level std::io handles and their locks.
Public API
// std::os::fd
const STDIN: BorrowedFd<'static>;
const STDOUT: BorrowedFd<'static>;
const STDERR: BorrowedFd<'static>;
