+//! Experimental extensions to `std` for Unix platforms.
+//!
+//! For now, this module is limited to extracting file descriptors,
+//! but its functionality will grow over time.
+//!
+//! # Example
+//!
+//! ```rust,ignore
+//! #![feature(globs)]
+//!
+//! use std::io::fs::File;
+//! use std::os::unix::prelude::*;
+//!
+//! fn main() {
+//! let f = File::create(&Path::new("foo.txt")).unwrap();
+//! let fd = f.as_raw_fd();
+//!
+//! // use fd with native unix bindings
+//! }
+//! ```
