17/// This type represents a file descriptor that refers to a process.
18///
19/// A `PidFd` can be obtained by setting the corresponding option on [`Command`]
20/// with [`create_pidfd`]. Subsequently, the created pidfd can be retrieved
21/// from the [`Child`] by calling [`pidfd`] or [`into_pidfd`].
22///
23/// Example:
24/// ```no_run
25/// #![feature(linux_pidfd)]
26/// use std::os::linux::process::{CommandExt, ChildExt};
27/// use std::process::Command;
28///
29/// let mut child = Command::new("echo")
30///     .create_pidfd(true)
31///     .spawn()
32///     .expect("Failed to spawn child");
33///
34/// let pidfd = child
35///     .into_pidfd()
36///     .expect("Failed to retrieve pidfd");
37///
38/// // The file descriptor will be closed when `pidfd` is dropped.
39/// ```
40/// Refer to the man page of [`pidfd_open(2)`] for further details.
