["Martin Sebor (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STDCXX-418?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12522016 ] 

Martin Sebor commented on STDCXX-418:
-------------------------------------

The documentation should read something like this:
int fd() const;
  Returns the associated file descriptor.
  ____
  NOTE -- This function is not part of the C++ Standard, but is included here as an extension. See Appendix B for a complete list of extensions of this implementation.

For some historical background see the following page for a description of the Classic Iostream function fd():

> The often requested extension to basic_filebuf, the filebuf::fd() function, doesn't seem to be documented, even though the attach() and detach() extensions are. See http://incubator.apache.org/stdcxx/doc/stdlibref/basic-filebuf.html
