+git-remote-fd(1)
+================
+
+NAME
+----
+git-remote-fd - Reflect smart transport stream back to caller
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+"fd::<infd>[,<outfd>][/<anything>]" (as URL)
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+This helper uses specified file descriptors to connect to a remote Git server.
+This is not meant for end users but for programs and scripts calling git
+fetch, push, or archive.
+
+If only <infd> is given, it is assumed to be a bidirectional socket connected
+to a remote Git server (git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, or
+git-upload-archive). If both <infd> and <outfd> are given, they are assumed
+to be pipes connected to a remote Git server (<infd> being the inbound pipe
+and <outfd> being the outbound pipe).
+
+It is assumed that any handshaking procedures have already been completed
+(such as sending service request for git://) before this helper is started.
+
+<anything> can be any string. It is ignored. It is meant for providing
+information to the user in the URL in case that URL is displayed in some
+context.
+
