A possible cause of failure is exceeding the per-process or system-wide file descriptor limit.

Added in version 2.22.

Parameters:

fd – a valid open file descriptor

get_fd_list() → UnixFDList

Gets the UnixFDList contained in message. This function does not return a reference to the caller, but the returned list is valid for the lifetime of message.
