Hi, 
this is my 1st post to the workers list. I've been lurking in the 'djgpp' list for years..

I skimmed the 2.04 alpha sources and noticed the '__set_fd_properties()' function.
What is the main use of this function? The info-doc didn't give an overall picture.
Can it be used for FSext'ed handles?

I'm the maintainer of Watt-32 tcp/ip, where sockets are FSext handles. Can 
I use something like this to auto-close a socket? (when last dup'ed socket is 
closed):

    char dev_name[20];
    sprintf (dev_name, "/dev/socket/%d", s);
    __set_fd_properties (s, dev_name, 0);     /* what's the last arg? */
    __set_fd_flags (s, FILE_DESC_TEMPORARY); 

Can it be used (or extended) to make some sort of virtual dir-list of 
"/dev/socket/"?
