Can you please elaborate? Which kind of issue do you see? Handling the
lifetime of the directory file descriptor?

I don't think we should support it: it's way too complicated to use,
error-prone, and leads to messy APIs.

Thanks, Victor.
I don't have any experience with dir_fd handling, so unfortunately
can't really comment here.
What advantages does it bring? I notice that even os.listdir() on
Python 3.4 doesn't have anything related to file descriptors, so I'd
be in favour of not including support. We can always
Hi,
IMO we must decide if scandir() must support or not file descriptor.
It's an important decision which has an important impact on the API.
To support scandir(fd), the minimum is to store dir_fd in DirEntry:
dir_fd would be None for scandir(str).
scandir(fd) must not close the file descripto
