fileno

Description

Returns the integer file descriptor.

Syntax

file. fileno()

Remarks

The integer file descriptor is used by the underlying implementation to request I/O operations from the operating system. This can be useful for other, lower level interfaces that use file descriptors, such as the fcntl module or os.read() and friends.

Note

File-like objects which do not have a real file descriptor should not provide this method!

Return Value

None
