"/dev/fd" is actually a somewhat portable way of getting this information.  I 
don't think it's part of a standard, but on Linux it's usually a symlink to 
"/proc/self/fd", and it's available on MacOS and most BSDs (based on a hasty 
and completely-not-comprehensive investigation).  But it won't help you find 
out when the FDs were originally opened, no.
