# Class Tools.Standalone.forkd()->FdStream

Description

  This is the main control Stdio.Fd and is always on fd number `3`.

  To spawn a new process, a new Stdio.PROP_SEND_FD capable Stdio.Fd is sent over this fd, and a single byte of data is sent as payload.

  The sent fd will become a ForkFd inside a ForkStream .

Inherit Fd

  inherit Stdio.Fd : Fd
