[libcamera-devel] [PATCH v3 01/33] libcamera: Add FileDescriptor to help pass numerical fds around

[Niklas Söderlund]

Add a helper to make it easier to pass file descriptors around. The
helper class duplicates the fd which decouples it from the original fd
which could be closed by its owner while the new FileDescriptor remains
valid.
