Which actually works. I cannot fathom how. The FM says it
will read the passphrase from file descriptor 3. Uh...Stdin,
Stdout, Stderr, There goes 0, 1, 2. uh, that would be a file

You can open new file descriptors from the shell and pass things
through, or (as is often the case with communication between a
parent and child process) open pipes as file descriptors and use
them as a comm channel.<br>
<br>
For example, if you have a UNIX socket that you'd like to connect to
your application on fd 3 from the shell:<br>
<br>
$ application 3<>/path/to/socket<br>
<br>
You can do this for any number, including the standard
output/input/error streams.<br>
