    \class QDBusUnixFileDescriptor
    \inmodule QtDBus
    \since 4.8

    \brief The QDBusUnixFileDescriptor class holds one Unix file descriptor.

    The QDBusUnixFileDescriptor class is used to hold one Unix file
    descriptor for use with the QtDBus module. This allows applications to
    send and receive Unix file descriptors over the D-Bus connection, mapping
    automatically to the D-Bus type 'h'.

    Objects of type QDBusUnixFileDescriptors can be used also as parameters
    in signals and slots that get exported to D-Bus by registering with
    QDBusConnection::registerObject.

    QDBusUnixFileDescriptor does not take ownership of the file descriptor.
    Instead, it will use the Unix system call \c dup(2) to make a copy of the
    file descriptor. This file descriptor belongs to the
    QDBusUnixFileDescriptor object and should not be stored or closed by the
    user. Instead, you should make your own copy if you need that.

    \section2 Availability

    Unix file descriptor passing is not available in all D-Bus connections.
    This feature is present with D-Bus library and bus daemon version 1.4 and
    upwards on Unix systems. QtDBus automatically enables the feature if such
    a version was found at compile-time and run-time.

    To verify that your connection does support passing file descriptors,
    check if the QDBusConnection::UnixFileDescriptorPassing capability is set
    with QDBusConnection::connectionCapabilities(). If the flag is not
    active, then you will not be able to make calls to methods that have
    QDBusUnixFileDescriptor as arguments or even embed such a type in a
    variant. You will also not receive calls containing that type.

    Note also that remote applications may not have support for Unix file
    descriptor passing. If you make a D-Bus to a remote application that
    cannot receive such a type, you will receive an error reply. If you try
    to send a signal containing a D-Bus file descriptor or return one from a
    method call, the message will be silently dropped.

    Even if the feature is not available, QDBusUnixFileDescriptor will
    continue to operate, so code need not have compile-time checks for the
    availability of this feature.

    On non-Unix systems, QDBusUnixFileDescriptor will always report an
    invalid state and QDBusUnixFileDescriptor::isSupported() will return
    false.
