+// FileDescriptor is a type used to encapsulate D-Bus file descriptors
+// and to follow the RAII idiom appropiate for use with message operations
+// where the descriptor might be easily leaked.  To guard against this the
+// descriptor is closed when an instance is destroyed if it is owned.
+// Ownership is asserted only when PutValue is used and TakeValue can be
+// used to take ownership.
+//
+// For example, in the following
+//  FileDescriptor fd;
+//  if (!reader->PopString(&name) ||
+//      !reader->PopFileDescriptor(&fd) ||
+//      !reader->PopUint32(&flags)) {
+// the descriptor in fd will be closed if the PopUint32 fails.  But
+//   writer.AppendFileDescriptor(dbus::FileDescriptor(1));
+// will not automatically close "1" because it is not owned.
