/**
 * @short XorpFd definition
 *
 * XorpFd is a wrapper class used to encapsulate a file descriptor.
 *
 * It exists because of fundamental differences between UNIX and Windows
 * in terms of how the two families of operating systems deal with file
 * descriptors; in most flavours of UNIX, all file descriptors are
 * created equal, and may be represented using an 'int' type which is
 * usually 32 bits wide. In Windows, sockets are of type SOCKET, which
 * is a typedef alias of u_int; whereas all other system objects are
 * of type HANDLE, which in turn is a typedef alias of 'void *'.
 *
 * The situation is made even more confusing by the fact that under
 * Windows, SOCKETs and HANDLEs may both be passed to various Windows
 * API functions.
 *
 * In order to prevent a situation where the developer has to explicitly
 * cast all arguments passed to such functions (in order to keep the XORP
 * code base compatible across all the operating systems we support), we
 * define a wrapper class with casting operators for the underlying types.
 *
 * When constructed, we always initialize the encapsulated file descriptor
 * to an invalid value appropriate to the OS under which we are running.
 *
 * The non-Windows case is very simple. We do not define both sets of
 * functions at once so that the compiler will flag as an error those
 * situations where file descriptors are being used in a UNIX-like way,
 * i.e. where developers try to exploit the fact that UNIX file descriptors
 * are monotonically increasing integers.
 *
 * XXX: Because Windows defines HANDLE in terms of a pointer, but also
 * defines SOCKET in terms of a 32-bit-wide unsigned integer, beware of
 * mixing 32-bit and 64-bit comparisons under Win64 when working with
 * socket APIs (or indeed any C/C++ library which will potentially do
 * work with sockets under Win64 such as libcomm).
