+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The function
+.BR dirfd ()
+returns the file descriptor associated with the directory stream
+.IR dirp .
+.PP
+This file descriptor is the one used internally by the directory stream.
+As a result, it is useful only for functions which do not depend on
+or alter the file position, such as
+.BR fstat (2)
+and
+.BR fchdir (2).
+It will be automatically closed when
+.BR closedir (3)
+is called.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+On success,
+.BR dirfd ()
+returns a file descriptor (a nonnegative integer).
+On error, \-1 is returned, and
+.I errno
+is set to indicate the error.
+.SH ERRORS
+POSIX.1-2008 specifies two errors,
+neither of which is returned by the current
+.\" glibc 2.8
+implementation.
+.TP
+.B EINVAL
+.I dirp
+does not refer to a valid directory stream.
+.TP
+.B ENOTSUP
+The implementation does not support the association of a file
+descriptor with a directory.
