6The usage of ``dup()`` is not recommended, it's better to use ``fcntl()``,
7which can set the close-on-exec flag. Otherwise, an opened sensitive file would
8remain open across a fork+exec to a lower-privileged SELinux domain.

12.. code-block:: c++
13
14  int fd = dup(oldfd);

18  int fd = fcntl(oldfd, F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC);
