== `posix/bind_fd.hpp`
`bind_fd` is a utility class to bind a file descriptor to an explicit file descriptor for the child process.

// Inherit file descriptor with the same value.

* This will pass descriptor 42 as 42 to the child process:
* @code

* @endcode
*/
bind_fd(int target);
// Inherit an asio io-object as a given file descriptor to the child process.

// Inherit a file descriptor with as a different value.

bind_fd(int target, std::nullptr_t);
// Inherit a newly opened-file as a set descriptor.
/* This will pass a descriptor to "extra-output.txt" as 42 to the child process:

----
Using `bind_fd` can be used to inherit file descriptors explicitly, because no unused one will be.
