Hi Rasmus,

Thanks for reply.
The requirement I was looking for is to read/write given only the file
descriptor number.

PHP-CGI binary is invoked by a webserver that runs in jail-directory and
doesn't have access to the file path directory.
So, it communicates with another daemon that opens a socket to that file and
in turn passes the file descriptor alone.

Can you please suggest if there is any API in PHP that serves this
requirement [read/write to given file descriptor]
Please let me know if I need to provide more information.

Thanks,
Naga Kiran
