/**
 * SECTION:gunixfdlist
 * @title: GUnixFDList
 * @short_description: An object containing a set of UNIX file descriptors
 * @include: gio/gunixfdlist.h
 * @see_also: #GUnixFDMessage
 *
 * A #GUnixFDList contains a list of file descriptors.  It owns the file
 * descriptors that it contains, closing them when finalized.
 *
 * It may be wrapped in a #GUnixFDMessage and sent over a #GSocket in
 * the %G_SOCKET_FAMILY_UNIX family by using g_socket_send_message()
 * and received using g_socket_receive_message().
 *
 * Note that `<gio/gunixfdlist.h>` belongs to the UNIX-specific GIO
 * interfaces, thus you have to use the `gio-unix-2.0.pc` pkg-config
 * file when using it.
